The post Hearty Meatball Soup appeared first on Budget Bytes.
It’s no secret just how much I love a good meatball recipe, and this one is an oldie but a goodie. My Hearty Meatball Soup is packed with tender, Italian-style turkey meatballs simmered in a rich tomato-based broth and plenty of veggies and pasta to make it super filling and totally budget-friendly. It’s an easy one-pot dinner the whole fam will love! And like most of my recipes, this flavor-packed soup leans on pantry staples and freezer-friendly ingredients to keep things easy on the wallet.
“A friend of mine told me about your blog just recently, and I have been obsessed ever since! I made this soup for my husband’s birthday because he is a huge meatball fan, and I have already made it again a few days later! It was soooo good!! A new winter favorite, thanks so much!”

Easy Meatball Soup Recipe
Today’s recipe is brought to you by the word mirepoix (aka the classic combo of diced onion, carrot, and celery). I start almost every soup this way, and once that trio is sizzling with a little garlic and olive oil, you’re already halfway to something delicious. That’s exactly how this simple meatball soup begins. I stir in some beef broth, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, pasta, and a batch of my homemade turkey meatballs to create the easiest, most delicious alternative to your average meatballs and pasta dish.
But if tomato-based soups aren’t your thing, I’ve shared a few variations below to mellow the flavor or make a lighter broth that still pairs perfectly with the meatballs!
Budget-Saving Tips!
- I use my turkey meatballs in this recipe because they’re packed with seasonings, which infuse the broth with extra flavor as they simmer. My homemade meatballs (made with beef and Italian sausage) work great here, too, but if you’re short on time, store-bought meatballs will still get the job done. Go for frozen meatballs (they’re often the most cost-effective) and cook them following the package instructions before adding them to your soup.
- When I first posted this recipe allll the way back in 2011, I only used half a batch of my turkey meatballs and 6 oz. of pasta. Since then, I’ve retested it using a full batch of meatballs and 8 oz. of pasta—which I much prefer! It makes this hearty soup even heartier and provides a good amount of pasta and meatballs per serving. That said, you can absolutely scale back the meatballs and pasta if you’re looking to save a few more dollars or prefer a brothier bowl.
