My husband loves spicy soups. This little treasure is for him; garnished with cheese, parsley, and hot pepper flakes, just the way he likes it. This hearty soup makes a satisfying lunch or dinner; when served with fresh fruit and salad. Don't forget a nice soft bread to sop up the juices.

How To Make jer's spicy sausage meatball soup

Step 1

Meatballs - Pinch off a half a tablespoon-sized chunk of sausage meat and roll into small balls.

Step 2

Next place a large cooking pot over medium heat. When hot add olive oil and brown the meatballs in batches. When the meatballs are evenly browned remove them from the pot and set aside until needed.
Step 3

Soup - In the same pot you browned the meatballs, add the butter and sauté the onions, celery, red peppers, and carrots until soft; about 5 minutes.
Step 4

Then add the salt, pepper, sugar, and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5

Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 6

Next add the meatballs, pasta, beans, herbs, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 35 - 45 minutes until pasta is tender and meatballs are cooked.
Step 7

Serve garnished with cheese and parsley. Red pepper flakes are optional. Hope you enjoy.
