Preparation
- Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

- Use an immersion blender to purée the vegetables until smooth.
- Add the vegetable stock, pasta, and meatballs to the pot, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
