Add the vegetables. Add the vegetables and sauté them for about 3–4 minutes until they soften slightly.

Add the meatballs, canned tomatoes and bouillon. Return the meatballs to the pot, pour in the canned tomatoes, add the bouillon and half a cup of water per serving (or use stock) and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Pass the sauce through a sieve. Remove the meatballs and pass the sauce through a sieve.
