Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (lean)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted bread crumbs
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes (diced)
- 2 medium Carrots (sliced)
- 2 Celery stalks (sliced)
- 1 medium Onion (chopped)
- 4 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes, then remove them from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the low-sodium beef broth and water. Stir well to combine.
Return the meatballs to the pot and add the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Stir in fresh parsley just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy.
