Instructions
- In Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat olive oil and butter. Sauté onion and carrots until translucent and soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
- Add vegetable broth, tomatoes, sugar water, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes and meatballs. Meatballs can be added raw or browned first, just ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F before consuming. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
- Add dry pasta and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cooked to al denté (still a little firm).
- Add grated parmesan cheese and stir. Cook over low heat until cheese melts and soup thickens.
