This hearty and nutritious soup is excellent using turkey meatballs, or swap it out for other types of meatballs.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic to the pot and cook until the onions soften. Add tomatoes.
Clear a space in the center of the pot and add tomato paste, letting it fry lightly. Stir and cook until the tomatoes are slightly dissolved.
Add water and increase heat to high. Add the carrots, cabbage, bay leaves, and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, add potatoes to the soup. Bring back to a boil until the potatoes are tender. Add turkey meatball and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add salt to taste before serving.
