Cooking Steps

1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 400°F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). 
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch moons.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then mirepoix, zucchini and Italian Herb Spice Blend. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and 3 1/2 cups (7 cups) water. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies softened.
2
  • To a medium bowl, add beef, italian breacrumbs and milk. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
3
  • Using your fingers or two spoons, roll 1/2 tbsp-sized meatballs and gently drop directly into simmering soup. (Note: It's okay if meatballs are not perfectly round!)
  • Cook for 3-6 min, stirring occassionally, until meatballs are cooked through.** 
4
  • To the boiling water, add tortellini. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to
    the bite. Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
    Strain tortellini and add to soup.
5
  • Meanwhile, halve buns.
  • On an unlined baking sheet, arrange buns cut-side up. Spread garlic spread on buns. Sprinkle mozzarella over top. Toast in the middle of the oven for 3-4 min, until cheese melts. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
  • Roughly chop basil.
6
  • Add basil to soup. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide soup between bowls.
  • Sprinkle parmesan over top.
  • Serve cheesy garlic bread on the side.
