Roasted vegetable soup with turkey meatballs

This recipe is from cookbook called Great taste- low fat Hearty Soups & Stews. I only added potato to the dish. It came out very good. We loved it.
Ingredients
1 red onion, thickly sliced
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
3 small potatoes cut small pieces
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup fat free milk
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 can reduced sodium chicken broth
1tbs balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp paprika
Salt
Preparation Method
1-Preheat the broiler. Place the onion slices, tomatoes, and bell peppers, cut sides down, on a broiler pan and broil 4 inches from the heat for 12 minutes, or until the pepper and tomatoes skins are blackened. When cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes and bell peppers.
2-Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs. milk, black pepper, and 2 tbsp of the basil, stirring to thoroughly blend. Shape the turkey mixture into 3/4-inc balls, using about 1 rounded per ball.
3-Transfer the broiled vegetables to a food processor or blender and pure until smooth about 1 minute. Pour the vegetable pure into a large saucepan along with the broth, vinegar, garlic, paprika and salt.   Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook 5 more minutes. drop the meatballs into the simmering soup and cook until they are coked through about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup basil and serve.

  1. This dish was really hearty and filling and had lots of deep flavors (from the roasting no doubt). I'd call it "comfort food"... it made me feel good. :)

  4. This looks fantastic. I'm always on the lookout for lower carb recipes, so I'd likely leave out the potatoes.
    if you have any suggestions for low carb lunches or dinners, I'd love to see them.
