Tomato Soup with Meatballs is a comforting dish that combines tangy tomato broth with savory, protein-packed meatballs. Originating in European and American cuisines, this hearty soup is often made with crushed tomatoes, aromatic herbs like basil and oregano, and fresh vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery. The meatballs, typically crafted from ground beef, pork, or turkey, add a satisfying texture and boost the protein content. This dish is a source of vitamins A and C from the tomatoes and provides iron and zinc from the meat. For a healthier version, lean meats and reduced-sodium broth can be used, alongside whole-grain breadcrumbs in the meatballs. While it is relatively nutrient-dense, portions should be balanced due to potential saturated fat in traditional meatballs and added sugars in store-bought tomato bases. It’s a delicious, warming meal suitable for various tastes and diets with slight modifications.
