Soup Base and Meatballs

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Make the Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

2

Brown the Meatballs

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and brown them on all sides. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add diced carrots and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

4

Add Broth and Spinach

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the browned meatballs back into the pot, along with the fresh spinach. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the meatballs are cooked through.

5

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
