This is one of my "I'm too tired to cook" meals. It's going on the stove as I write down the recipe. All of the items can be found at Trader Joe's.
Olive oil
Frozen chopped onion
Minced garlic
1 bag turkey meatballs
1 bag organic foursome frozen vegetables
1 carton + 1 can low-sodium chicken broth
Pepper to taste
I have some fresh spinach that is about to go, so I'm putting it in the soup for a taste of fresh cooked greens. You could also use fresh chopped herbs for this same effect.
Another delicious addition is Harvest Grains blend, orzo or leftover cooked rice.
1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium-high heat. Saute onion until translucent, ~ 5-7 minutes. Watch it closer than I did, because my onions are a little crispy :) Add 1-2 cloves garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
2. Add vegetables and saute for a minute, coating in oil. Add the chicken broth and meatballs. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, just a few minutes. Season with pepper - shouldn't need any salt due to prepared chicken broth and meatballs.
We are not at a point with our schedules that the 4 of us are able to eat dinner together. This meal does double duty, where the leftovers will turn into kid lunch the next day. I use a slotted spoon to strain the meatballs and veg from the broth so they can feed themselves, because soup + two 1-year-olds = not a good combination!
