This Rigatoni Meatball Soup is comfort in a bowl! And unlike most comfort food–it’s super quick and easy. You can be enjoying a hot bowl of this soup in less than 20 minutes!
After a long winter day, sometimes comfort food is what you crave! But who has time on a busy weeknight to throw together meatloaf, mashed potatoes, or some complicated pasta dish??
This soup comes together super quickly, taking the help from frozen, store-bought meatballs (Trader Joe’s Turkey Meatballs are the best!!). Save rolling and baking homemade meatballs for another day and enjoy this comfort food in less than 30 minutes!
