Kitchen Sink Soup

I am continuing my quest to empty out the freezer. Between the price of groceries, OUCH, and my overzealous cooking in the Fall, I am determined to make meals out of everything left in there.

I went back to an old favorite this week…Meatball Tortellini Soup. It truly was a kitchen sink moment when I realized I had all the ingredients except for fresh spinach. After a quick trip to the store for my leafy greens, I went to work.

I love this soup since it is easy. Once you sauté the onions, peppers, celery, carrots, and garlic, you add the remaining ingredients to the pot and let time do the rest. As for the remaining items, it is chicken broth, tortellini, meatballs, and spinach.

I let it simmer for a couple of hours while Big Guy worked in the garden. Once he came in and showered, dinner was ready. As Ina Garten would say, “how easy is that?!”
