- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 large Celery stalks
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 cups Low sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside.
Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes into small cubes. Chop the celery stalks into thin slices.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the prepared meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth, and add dried thyme, oregano, and the bay leaf. Stir well.
Return the browned meatballs to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
