Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Finely minced
  • 2 cups Frozen vegetables Mixture of carrots, peas, green beans
  • 2 cans Diced tomatoes 15 oz cans, Preferably with Italian seasoning
  • 1 bag Frozen Italian meatballs Pre-Cooked, 1.5 pound bag, Mini sized meatballs are great, if you can find them.
  • 1 box Beef broth Low sodium, 32 oz.
  • ⅓ cup Red wine Optional, Can be replaced with broth
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • ¾ -1 cup Acini di pepe pasta  Dry, Uncooked, Or use any other small pasta such as small shells, ditalini e.t.c.
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Fresh, Finely chopped, For garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Basil  Fresh, Finely chopped, For garnish
  • 1-2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese Freshly grated, Optional

Instructions
 

  • In a crockpot (6 quart or larger), add onion, garlic, frozen, vegetables, diced tomatoes, meatballs, broth, wine, water, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, bay leaf.
  • Mix, cover and cook on High heat for about 2.5-3 hours or until vegetables are tender or on Low heat for about 5-6 hours. I prefer cooking faster on high heat because cooking on low heat for too long makes the vegetables super soft and "mushy."
  • Add pasta.
  • Mix, cover and cook on High heat for about 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.
  • Remove bay leaf.
  • Garnish with parsley, basil, parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or stovetop. Additional broth or water will need to be added when reheated since the pasta absorbs a lot of the liquid and makes the soup thick and chunky.
