Meatball Potato Soup
Description
Meatball Potato Soup is made by placing peeled and chopped red potatoes, frozen meatballs, chopped onion, carrots, celery, and beef stock into a slow cooker. Fresh thyme sprigs add herbaceous notes, while Worcestershire sauce contributes depth to the broth. After cooking on high for about four hours or low for 6 to 8 hours, the potatoes become tender and the meatballs infuse the soup with savory flavor.
The soup has a straightforward flavor profile, with the fresh vegetables providing sweetness and texture contrasting the meatballs. The long cooking time allows all ingredients to harmonize without overcomplicating the dish. This results in a cozy, satisfying soup that works well as a standalone meal.
While simple on its own, you can enhance the soup by adding garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, or fresh parsley if desired. It serves well warm and pairs nicely with bread or a light salad for a complete dinner.
