Hearty Meatball Pasta Soup Recipe

Meatballs: In a medium bowl lightly beat egg; mix in soft bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion salt, garlic, and beef. Shape into 1-inch balls.

In a large Dutch oven, brown meatballs carefully in heated oil. Mix in onion and garlic and cook about 5 minutes, taking care not to break up meatballs. Add tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, broth, wine, water, sugar, basil, thyme, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.

Add ravioli and cook, covered, at a gentle boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until they are just tender and no longer taste starchy. Salt to taste. Stir in parsley. Serve with cheese to sprinkle over the soup.
