small onion, chopped (about ½ cup)

carrots, chopped

green bell pepper,

celery stalks,

broth (vegetable

tomatoes

paprika

Salt and pepper

pasta

Place the meatball ingredients in one large mixing bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Mix until the meat mixture is well incorporated.

Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 ½ tbsp each (whatever size you choose, stick to it). Arrange the meatballs on a large, lightly oiled sheet pan and broil for 5 to 8 minutes until browned (they will cook some more in the soup).

In a large pot, heat about 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Add broth and tomatoes. Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook over mediu/medium-high heat for 10 minutes.

Add the meatballs and pasta. Cook for 10  minutes or until pasta is cooked.

Remove from  heat and stir in parsley. Transfer to serving bowls, and if you like sprinkle a bit more grated Parmesan cheese. If you like heat, add some crushed pepper flakes. Enjoy!

This looks truly delicious. I made broth with liver dumplings before but have never thought of making meatball soup with a bit of pasta... until now! A great idea, thank you !

This soup! It's like Italian Wedding soup got a glow up! I love the inclusion of all the veggies. So hearty and healthy and perfect for this time of year when you just want to curl up with a filling bowl of soup.

Now this is my kind of comfort food. Packed full of vegetables too.

onions

garlic, chopped

PC. celery rib, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

PC. carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

chicken broth (42 fl ounces) (homemade will work too!)

PC. (5- to 6-ounces) bag baby spinach, coarsely chopped

salt,

Fill your pressure canner with 2 to 3 inches of water and place the rack at the bottom. Please follow the instructions that came with your canner for adding the amount of water. Begin heating the water in the bottom of the canner with the lid off.

Preparation:

In a large frying pan sauté the cook onions, garlic, celery, and carrots, stirring occasionally, until onions are pale golden, about 4 minutes.

Put the onions and vegetables in a bowl and set aside. In a stainless steel pot or enameled dutch oven add broth/stock,water, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Leave in pot for 3-5 minutes while you get the jars ready to fill. Remove from heat.

Food Preparation:

You will need 6 pint jars. Put your canning funnel on the jar and using a spoon add 1/4 -1/2 cup of beans, a small handful of spinach, 3 meatballs, and some of the onion/veggie mixture to each jar. Fill each jar with the solids about 3/4 of way full.

Using the ladle scoop the hot broth and funnel into each jar to fill to 1&quot; headspace.  Remove air bubbles with your rubber spatula or chopsticks and refill if necessary.

Taking a clean damp papertowel, wipe the rims of the jars removing any food particles that would interfere with a good seal for your lids.

Using your magic wand extract the lids from the hot water and place them on the now cleaned rims. Add your rings to the tops of each of the jars and turn to seal just &quot;finger tight&quot;.

Filling the jars:

Make sure your canning water has come to a simmer and place the jars in the pressure canner.  Lock the lid and turn up the heat bring the canner to a boil.

Vent steam for 10 minutes and then close the vent by adding the weighted gauge or pressure regulator (for dial gauge canner).

Process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure (11 lbs for dial gauge canner). Adjust pressure for altitude.

When complete turn off the heat and let pressure return to zero naturally. If you have a lid lock you will want to wait till the lock drops. Wait two minutes longer and remove the weighted gauge or pressure regulator.

Remove canner lid. Wait 10 minutes then remove jars and place on dishtowel in a place that they will sit overnight to cool. Do not touch or move them till the next morning.

Processing:

Some time in the next hour your jars will be making a &quot;pinging&quot; or &quot;popping&quot; noise. That is the glass cooling and the reaction of the lids being sucked into the jar for proper sealing. Some recipes may take overnight to seal. Check your lids and reprocess any jars that did not seal. Remove rings for storage.

Sealing:
