Instant Pot Turkey Meatball Soup

Soup is a great choice for dinner because it's simple to make and filling. The hardest part is making the meatballs, and how hard is it to mix the ingredients and form into balls? Not hard at all. 🙂 Here's a little life hack for you, have your kid's little hands make the meatballs. This saves you from having to do it and they will enjoy helping you out. Kids seem to also try more foods that they help make.

If you have trouble getting them to try vegetables or different foods, include them in the process. This soup has so much flavor they probably won't even realize that they are eating a bunch of vegetables. Well, maybe they will but they taste so good that they will be okay with it, especially if they helped make the dinner. For a soup with a twist try my Broccoli Chicken Cheddar Soup. I added zero point chicken and got the added bonus of texture and protein.

If you don't feel like this soup is hearty enough for you, add some extra zero point vegetables. That's the joy of a soup recipe this like this one, you can change up the ingredients to meet your needs and taste preferences. If you add anything other than zero point vegetables to this recipe, please make sure you add in additional points.

Make up a pot of this dinner and save some for lunch tomorrow. It will be as good the next day and then you're already set with another meal and no additional effort. I freeze the leftover meatballs. They are awesome for a quick breakfast with eggs. You can use them for making more soup later in the week also.
