| Mindless Meatball Minestroni
- 2 14.5-ounce cans chicken broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can beef broth
- 1 pound frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 18-ounce bag frozen meatballs
- 1 14.5-ounce can stewed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup dry macaroni
- 1 15-ounce can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 6 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (fresh, if possible)
In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat the chicken and beef broth. Add the frozen vegetables and meatballs while they are still frozen (saves time). Add the canned tomatoes and the uncooked macaroni. Cover the pot and continue cooking until it boils, which takes about ten minutes.
When the soup mixture boils, uncover it and stir it well. Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and the Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring frequently. Cook until the macaroni is tender, which will be another six or seven minutes.
Serve immediately. Add a tablespoon of grated fresh Parmesan cheese to each bowl as a garnish.
Makes 6 single-bowl servings.
