Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Meatball Soup Delight.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about four minutes, or until the onion takes on a lovely pale golden hue, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring gently to combine.
Step 5
Cover the pot and bring this flavorful mixture to a rolling boil.
Step 6
When it’s bubbling away, add the drained white beans and frozen meatballs, giving it a good stir.
Step 7
Allow it to return to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 8
Cover the pot again and let it simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
This is the perfect time for the vegetables to soften and the meatballs to warm through, creating a comforting blend of flavors.
Step 10
After 20 minutes, stir in the chopped spinach, grated Asiago cheese, salt, and pepper.
Step 11
Let the soup simmer for just another minute, or until the spinach wilts beautifully.
Step 12
Now, your hearty soup is ready to be enjoyed—serve it warm and savor each delicious spoonful!.
