01
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the beef, pork, chopped onion, and parsley. Season well with salt and a bit of black pepper, then shape the mixture into small meatballs.
02
Step 2
Bring the beef broth to a boil in a large pot, then stir in the tomato sauce. Carefully add the meatballs to the pot. Lower the heat to medium and let everything simmer gently for about an hour, occasionally skimming off any foam or fat that rises to the surface.

Step 3
Next, toss in the potatoes, onion, kale, green beans, carrots, garlic, basil, and Italian seasoning. Let the soup continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender—this should take between 30 minutes and an hour.

Finally, stir in the frozen tortellini and cook for about 10 more minutes, until the pasta is heated through. Serve warm and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This soup combines hearty meatballs with tender tortellini in a flavorful broth, making it both comforting and satisfying. It’s perfect for a cozy meal on chilly days and offers a great balance of protein and carbs.
How to serve
Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or garlic toast. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top adds a nice touch. Pair it with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the tortellini. For longer storage, freeze the soup without the tortellini and add fresh pasta when reheating.
