Spinach & Meatball Soup

This soup is really based on a yummy Publix recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

16 oz frozen meatballs (I like the Costco brand)

2 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp dried rosemary

1 tbsp dried oregano

One small onion, diced

4-6 ribs celery, diced

3/4 cup sliced carrots

1 tbsp olive oil

1&1/2 cups frozen spinach

2 cans cannellini beans, drained & rinsed

32 oz low-sodium chicken broth

Parmesan cheese as garnish

1.  Cook meatballs according to package, draining off excess fat before adding to soup.  While meatballs cook, assemble the other ingredients.

2.  Place olive oil in Dutch oven & add spices, onion, celery & carrots.  Cook for 2-5 minutes, depending on how soft you want your veggies.

3.  Add spinach & chicken broth.  Allow spinach to thaw & separate.

4.  Add the drained beans, meatballs & cook till thoroughly heated.

5.  Garnish with parmesan cheese.
