Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then form into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the meatballs. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Soup Base

    In the same pot, add the beef broth, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Noodles and Meatballs

    Add the egg noodles and cooked meatballs back into the pot. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the noodles are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in chopped parsley before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
