Now that cooler weather is here, this recipe I created some years ago came to mind. I thought, AHA! I should share! Hope you enjoy this soup. I have made it for friends who were sick and the comment is always the same: " This is really good! slurp, slurp!"

How To Make sadie's (that's me!) tortelini meatball soup

Step 1

In a dutch oven or large pot, add all above ingredients except meatballs and Tortelini, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Simmer on medium/low heat until celery is medium soft. If using whole tomatoes you may want to crush them down while the soup simmers.
Step 3

When celery is medium soft (about 20 minutes) add meatballs and tortelini to soup. Simmer until tortelini is done, about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Salt and pepper to taste. If you like a stronger chicken broth flavor, use boullion cubes or a flavor booster, it's all a matter of taste. If using homemade meatballs, cook them before adding to soup (This will increase your prep time somewhat, or make ahead of time)
