30-Minute Healthy Meatball Soup

healthy meatball soup

We had a few days of rain last week and this comforting soup hit the spot. This soup is easy to make and it only takes 30 minutes from start to finish. Best of all it tastes great and it’s healthy. My kids loved the meatballs and gladly ate everything in their bowls with no complaints. This is a new family favorite! Enjoy!

I wasn’t able to find whole grain ditalini pasta at my grocery store, but I did find it on Amazon for next time.
