I usually enjoy chopping up stuff for dinner and find it to be therapeutic. But every now and then I just don't wanna do it. This recipe is great for those kinds of nights. (P.S. I make and freeze my own super-lean meatballs using my ground beef + TVP mixture [see Ground Beef + Tvp = Lots O' Meat] and Kittencal's meatball recipe [Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs] so I always have some on hand.)

Ingredients:

4 cups beef broth

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

0.5 (6 ounce) can tomato paste (freeze the other half)

0.5 (12 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach

1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables (i like one called asparagus stir fry)

1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons instant minced onion

fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt

10 meatballs

Directions:

1. Mix everything together in a stock pot.
2. Heat to a boiling and then let simmer until heated through.
