Hearty meatballs and pasta in a savory beef and tomato broth make Albondigas soup a delicious comfort food. Using sautéed onions and peppers from the freezer makes this soup virtually prep-free.
When you are pressed for time, you can make the soup on the stovetop and cut down the cooking time to less than an hour. Add the pasta in the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
If you have a 6 quart crockpot, you should be able to double the recipe in one batch.
