Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup celery, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined, then form the mixture into small meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Brown the Meatballs: Gently place the meatballs in the pot, allowing them to brown on all sides. This step locks in flavor and adds color to your soup.
  4. Add the Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat.
  5. Simmer with Veggies: Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.
  6. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Top with extra Parmesan or fresh parsley if desired!

Notes
