Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup frozen chopped onion
• 1 cup frozen sliced carrots
• 4 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.75 pound pre-cooked turkey meatballs
• 0.5 cup small pasta
• 2 slice crusty Italian bread

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the frozen chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
2. Stir in the frozen sliced carrots, chicken broth, dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Once boiling, add the pre-cooked turkey meatballs and small pasta. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and meatballs are heated through.
4. Serve the soup hot with slices of crusty Italian bread.

Notes

To ensure meatballs are well-heated, test one with a knife. For a thicker soup, mash a few cooked carrots against the side of the pot.
