Turkey Meatball Vegetable Soup- IBS Friendly

3/4 Pound Turkey meatballs (Optional)

4 Cans Chicken broth

2 Stalks Celery Finely chopped

1/2 Onion finely chopped

2 Carrots finely chopped

1 Sweet Potato/Yam cubed small

2 med Red potatoes cubed small

2 Cups Green beans frozen.

1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash original

I made up my turkey meatballs and baked them 1/2 hour before adding them to the crock pot which was already filled with sauteed onion,celery and carrots, and the potatoes. I de-glazed the jelly roll pan I baked the meatballs on with some of the hot broth from the crock pot. It turned the broth a nice brown color.

NOTE: Last time I made this I omitted the turkey meatballs and pureed the soup. also added 2 cups pureed roasted butternut squash to the soup to improve the flavor.
