I look forward to my mother’s famous homemade meatball soup every Halloween.  It’s been the tradition in our family for as long as I can remember to get together on Halloween and eat meatball soup, homemade bread, and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters.  So, in honor of one of my favorite holidays coming up, I want to share with you this Easy Paleo Meatball Soup recipe. Now I must admit that I had never made this soup on my own before.   I’ve watched my mom make it for many years and ate plenty of bowls of it.   A few weeks ago I pulled out the family recipe book she gave me when I got married and looked at the recipe.   Not to knock my mom, but I was shocked by how simple it is.  All these years I was tricked into thinking she worked so hard on Halloween day to make a huge batch of this soup for all of us…Wrong.  It’s ridiculously easy that even Tracy could make this! Haha. (We all know she loves the kitchen)  Now my mother does also make some killer homemade bread to go with it so I’m not going to act like she doesn’t still work hard that day to cook us all great meal. 

I was a very picky eater growing up.  I loved this soup, but I was repulsed by all the big onion and tomato chunks in it.  So, my mom would just give me a bowl of meatballs and broth and I was perfectly happy.  It’s funny how our palates change with age because I can’t get enough of the savory onions and tomatoes in this soup now.  As you can see I have stepped up my food photography game.  I recently purchased a new camera and this is my first attempt using it.  Now I’m sure they will only improve but considering I had no idea what I was really doing and just went for it I think they turned out pretty fantastic! Now on to this simple recipe.  This recipe was not originally gluten free and paleo friendly but it only took a couple modifications to do so.
