“After our son left home, I had to learn to pare down recipes for just my husband and me,” notes Sherry Little of Sherwood, Arkansas. “So I created this hearty soup with fast-cooking frozen meatballs.”

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 12 frozen fully cooked Italian meatballs (1/2 ounce each)
  • 3/4 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 3/4 cup stewed tomatoes
  • 1 can (11 ounces) Mexicorn, drained
  • 3/4 cup frozen cheese tortellini (about 20)
  • Dash salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add meatballs. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the spinach, tomatoes and corn; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the tortellini, salt and pepper; cover and simmer for 3 minutes or until tortellini is tender.
