Meatball and Tortellini Soup image

This soup is a mixture of my mother's recipe and my own adjustments. It is perfect for a cold day and is usually even better the next day. Simply put it back on the stove, add a little water if needed, and warm it up. There is a lot of prep, especially because of making the meatballs homemade, but it is so worth it. My very favorite soup and full of good ingredients! My kids and husband love it too! Serve with Parmesan cheese and toasted bread.

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
⅛ cup finely chopped onion
½ tablespoon dried parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 quarts beef broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 small red potatoes, or more to taste, chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra seasoning to make it more flavorful.
