This Pasta Meatball Soup recipe contains frozen fully cooked Italian meatballs, kidney beans, shell pasta, meatless spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes and more.
'A co-worker who was born in Cuba helped me perfect the recipe for this hearty dish,' reports Helen Simms of Lyons, Michigan. 'Now it's one of our family's favorites. It's also a great way to use up leftover holiday ham.'
I used to live in Sicily, and these stuffed rice balls were a favorite of mine! 'Arancini' means 'Little Oranges' in Italian, named so because the little breaded rice balls resemble small oranges so much.
I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use.
As much as my family loves Thanksgiving, they look forward to this cream soup using leftover turkey even more. It makes a big batch that we can enjoy for days. --Valorie Walker, Bradley, South Carolina
My husband and I fondly refer to this as 'Cheater Pot Pie.' This is similar to a standard pot pie, but prepares much quicker. Use whole or two percent milk.
