Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 30 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium White onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
- 250 g Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 liters Chicken or beef broth
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 tsp Thyme, dried
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 100 g Pasta or small soup noodles (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a tray or plate. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs and set them aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and begin to caramelize.
Pour in the chicken or beef broth, and add the bay leaf and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Carefully return the meatballs to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
If using pasta or soup noodles, add them to the pot during the last 10 minutes of cook time and cook until tender.
Remove the bay leaf, taste the soup, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your Simply Delicious Mushroom Meatball Soup!
