To prepare this soup, simply open the can and transfer the contents to a saucepan. Heat the soup gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated through. Avoid boiling the soup, as this can affect the texture of the pasta and meatballs. Alternatively, you can heat the soup in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it loosely and heating for a few minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot. Serve immediately in bowls.
