Recipe #6: Easy Meatball Soup

Source:  Weekly Crockpot Recipe, Diana Rattray

1 pound frozen meatballs, Italian seasoned
3 cups beef broth
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning
1 cup diced potato, about 1 medium potato
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
16 ounces (about 3 cups) frozen mixed vegetables

In crockpot, combine meatballs, broth, tomatoes, potato, onion, garlic powder and pepper.  Cover and cook on LOW for 9 to 11 hours, until potatoes and onion are tender.  Stir in frozen vegetables and cook on HIGH for 1 hour longer.  Serves 6.  If desired, serve with a tossed salad and pass the Parmesan cheese.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Variations:  I used dried onions instead of chopped.  I just didn't feel like chopping an onion this morning.  :)

My husband is skiing tonight, so it was just the kids and I.  This was very good.  We grated Parmesan cheese on top and served with crescent rolls.  A great meal, and even better because it's darn chilly here today.  We'll be having this again, I'm sure.  (And not just because I have half a bag of frozen meatballs left in my freezer, either.)
