With our lesson regarding Provident Living/ Self - Reliance, we discussed different ways we could incorporate these areas more into our life. One was through cooking our own meals. This blog may be used to post our favorite recipes we can share with one another (also helps us explore more choices).

Meatball Soup
Meatballs (frozen) – I buy them at Costco or Sam’s – use however many you want.
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 14-ounce can beef broth
1 14-1/2-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 cup tiny bow-tie pasta or ditalini
3 cups torn spinach or 1/2 of a 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
Directions
1.. In a large saucepan stir together garbanzo beans, beef broth, undrained tomatoes, water, mushrooms, frozen meatballs, and Italian seasoning. Bring to boil. Add pasta. Return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or just until spinach is wilted.
Makes 4 main-dish servings.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare soup, except do not add spinach; cool. Transfer to airtight freezer container; seal, label, and freeze up to 3 months. To reheat, transfer to saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to break up. Stir in spinach as above.
Start to Finish: 15 minutes
