Spaghetti and Meatball Soup

This Spaghetti and Meatball Soup recipe is from the archives and has been greatly overlooked. I finally got a chance to rephotograph it, which I have wanted to do for a while. Lean turkey meatballs cook in a light tomato broth with cut-up spaghetti. It’s very popular in my home, and I’m sure it will be in yours too. More kid-friendly meals your family might enjoy are Instant Pot Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs, Crock Pot Turkey Chili, and Madison’s Favorite Beef Tacos.

Kid-Friendly Spaghetti and Meatball Soup

When Madison was younger, I would give her less broth, and she would eat the spaghetti soup with her messy hands. I’d also leave out the red pepper for her.

Can you cook spaghetti directly in the soup?

The spaghetti cooks in this soup. Since it’s in smaller pieces, it’ll cook in the amount of time listed in the package’s directions since you’re adding it to simmering, not boiling, broth.

How to Cook Spaghetti and Meatball Soup

How to Freeze

Freeze leftover spaghetti soup in small containers so you can pull it out on busy nights when you need something fast to feed your kids. The soup will last in the fridge for about four days and in the freezer for three months. You can thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or reheat it in the microwave or on the stove straight from frozen.

Variations:

Meatballs: Swap ground turkey for lean ground chicken or beef. Pasta: Substitute spaghetti for another pasta shape, like elbow macaroni or rotini. You can also use whole-wheat noodles. Liquid: Since the pasta expands, you can add more broth if necessary. Vegetables: Feel free to add some vegetables like spinach or chopped carrots and celery.
