- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, grated Onion
- 30 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium, diced Carrots

- 2 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and set aside on a plate.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until they are browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the meatballs from the pot and set them aside.
In the same pot, add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the bay leaves, beef broth, and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil.
Once the soup is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and return the meatballs to the pot. Let it cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
Remove the bay leaves and discard them.
Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or parsley.
