- While meatballs are cooking saute onions and garlic in olive oil until softened, then add remaining soup ingredients and simmer on medium high heat for about 15-20 min until veggies are tender, add meatballs and cook an additional 5-10 minutes on medium. If it is not as spicy as you would like add more spice by adding a few teaspoons of chili powder.
- Serve with warm bread or grilled cheese! Additionaly you can top with cheese and green onions.
Notes
- This is one of those soups that the flavors enhance overnight. I often will make this soup the day before I need it so it has time for all the flavors to absorb together!
