EASY CROCK POT MEATBALL MINESTRONE
I always love to find a new way to use frozen meatballs--either commercial or homemade and frozen. This is a particularly good (and hearty) soup. I think you will enjoy it. I found a tiny elbow macaroni in the Mexican section of the ethnic aisle of the supermarket; I thought it worked very well in this recipe. It's name is Pasta Alimenticia (La Moderna brand). I also substituted Navy beans for the kidneys since we like them best. The recipe comes from "Slow Cooker Magic" by Rehberg and Conway.

Steps:
- In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Just before they are completely browned, add the onion to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking about 2 more minutes or until the onions are soft.
- Add 1 cup of the beef broth to the pan, stirring up all the browned particles from the bottom of the pan. Carefully pour contents of skillet into your crock pot. I used a 4-quart sized crock pot.
- Add the rest of the beef broth, tomatoes, carrots, celery, green pepper, oregano, basil and parsley to the crock pot. Cover and cook on LO for 6 to 8 hours.
- Turn the heat to HI. Add the macaroni and rinsed and drained beans; stir. Cover and cook about 30 minutes until the macaroni is fully cooked.
- Taste before serving. If necessary, adjust seasoning. Serve in soup bowls with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and make it more nutritious. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Brown the meatballs before adding them to the soup. This will help them hold their shape and give them a richer flavor.
- Use a low-sodium broth. This will help you control the amount of sodium in your soup. If you're using a regular broth, be sure to taste the soup before adding any additional salt.
- Add the noodles or rice during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. This will add a little extra flavor and richness to the soup.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot meatball stone soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and hearty soup that the whole family will enjoy.
