When I was helping the family out of town. I had made a recipe for soup with my daughter. It was for Lentil soup with veggies. She asked me to make turkey meatballs for the soup. It was delicious. I haven’t used turkey meatballs in soup before that. But, since having that soup I decided to switch up my normal chicken vegetable soup to a homemade turkey meatball noodle soup. 

Turkey Meatball Soup 

Turkey meatball soup is a hearty soup. This vegetable soup with meatballs is lean, healthy and filling. Anyone looking for a lighter version of a meatball soup will enjoy this soup recipe!

I decided to keep the cooked turkey meatballs out of the soup, just until serving the soup. If you have picky kids you can serve them the soup with turkey meatballs on the side or add them to the soup and just skip dishing them up what they don’t like.

We just add the turkey meatballs into our soup bowls just prior to adding the soup into the bowl. But, you definitely can add them into the pot the last 15-20 minutes for even more flavor.

INSTRUCTIONS 

How to make Turkey Meatball Soup

Step 1 

Saute the Vegetables

First, saute your veggies in a non-stick 5-quart skillet. This skillet is deep and has a glass lid. Be sure to use a skillet or pot you can cover with a lid. 

Step 2 

How To Make the Turkey Meatballs 

Second, make the turkey meatballs by first prepping the ingredients in a bowl. Then in a separate skillet slowly cook them until browned and centers are fully cooked. Set to the side. Add to soup 15-20 minutes before serving or in each bowl individually. 

Step 3

Cook the noodles 

Then cook your noodles for your soup per package directions for al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water, and set to the side. Ladle into the soup when serving. This way your noodles don’t soak up all the broth and don’t get overcooked. 

Step 4 

Ladle the soup into a bowl, add the turkey meatballs (if not in the soup already), and scoop a spoonful of noodles into the soup. Stir and enjoy!
