When time is tight, Beverly Menser whips up Pasta Meatball Soup in her Madisonville, Kentucky home. The savory Italian soup relies on items most cooks have in the kitchen, including pasta, prepared spaghetti sauce, canned and frozen vegetables and frozen meatballs. The chunky mixture only needs to simmer for minutes before it can be ladled into bowls.

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without NoodlesWhen I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it’s time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I’m going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana

I Just made this today and it was so good. I didn't measure the ingredients, just guessed at a half portion and used frozen peas and carrots and frozen corn for the veggies. I used pinto beans because I was out of kidney beans. The meatballs added such a great flavor to the soup. I probably added more pasta and meatballs than called for.

So quick and easy and good! I put everything except the noodles in the crockpot at lunch and then add the noodles about 30 minutes before dinner. Amazing taste without any seasoning!

Such a quick and easy fix, and yet it's such an amazing hit! I am often asked to bring it in for potlucks at work! :D

Very good!! I cut the meatballs into quarters. That way my meat lover husband wouldn't take all the meatballs. It looked like there was more meat than called for.

My hubby isn't fond of tomato pieces either, so I used a 28 oz. jar of Newman's Own Marinara sauce, 1 box of vegetable broth, 1 1/2 cups of frozen corn cooked, & shaved baby carrot circles. To keep the pasta from getting too soft, I cooked it al dente before adding to the soup. I omitted the beans, mushrooms & peas. I will make it again - it was deliciously easy.

Oh, sorry- just wanted to mention that when using the frozen carrots, you might want to cook them a little in the microwave w/ a little water to make them soften up. If not, they tend to be a little too crunchy.
This has been a family staple in my house for years. Now that I'm on my own, I make it and the entire family ends up asking for some. I usually have to double the recipe just so I can get a taste of my own soup. Over the years, we've changed just a few things...We use turkey meatballs (found in the meat section) they hold up through the entire heating process so no worries about them falling apart.*Oh, and we usually double the amount of meatballs*We buy a spicy can of tomatoes to give it a little kick and also add some chili powder, cumin and a lot of pepper as well. But our family can't take bland so it is really up to you how you like it.I urge ya'll to try this recipe...it is amazingly simple and amazingly hearty!

This was very hearty and homey and easy to throw together. i used a 32 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce and a 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes because that's what I had on hand. I also added a cup of frozen corn which turned out to be a great addition. Be sure to add the cooked pasta right before serving - I added mine a little too soon so they got a little overcooked. Otherwise, it was great!
