Combine chicken broth + crushed tomatoes, and thyme together in a large pot or dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add in carrots, potatoes, onions, kale, and green beans and cook covered on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, add in meatballs, and italian seasoning. Taste and begin adding salt + pepper to taste. I like to add in salt 1 TSP at a time, and pepper 1/2 TSP at a time, stirring and tasting, until it's to my liking. Serve warm and enjoy!
