Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set them aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add chopped yellow onion. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add diced carrots and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes, then add them to the pot along with the bay leaf.
Return the meatballs to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Season the soup with the remaining salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf and garnish the soup with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
