Number Of Ingredients 23

1 ½ lb lean ground beef (or ground chicken or ground turkey)
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 raw egg, whisked
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
2 tsp dry oregano
½ tsp sweet paprika
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
½ to 1 cup fresh chopped parsley
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve EVOO)
Extra virgin olive oil (Private Reserve EVOO)
1 small onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
2 carrots, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, cored and chopped
2 celery stalks, peeled and chopped
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
5 to 6 cups broth (vegetable or beef broth)
1 28-oz can peeled tomatoes with juices
1 tsp dry oregano
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper
¾ cup dry small pasta like ditalini or small shells
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the meatball ingredients in one large mixing bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Mix until the meat mixture is well incorporated.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 ½ tbsp each (whatever size you choose, stick to it). Arrange the meatballs on a large, lightly oiled sheet pan and broil for 5 to 8 minutes until browned (they will cook some more in the soup).
  • In a large pot, heat about 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Add broth and tomatoes. Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook over mediu/medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs and pasta. Cook for 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked.
  • Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Transfer to serving bowls, and if you like sprinkle a bit more grated Parmesan cheese. If you like heat, add some crushed pepper flakes. Enjoy!

ITALIAN MEATBALL SOUP

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces ground beef
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
2 cloves garlic
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
7 cups low-sodium beef stock
2 heaping tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 cup diced russet potatoes (not peeled)
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
3/4 cup diced onions
8 ounces regular white cabbage, sliced
1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • To make the meatballs, add the ground beef, grated Parmesan, 3 tablespoons of the parsley, the lemon juice, ground oregano, garlic, egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper to a bowl and mix together well. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning to brown all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. No need to cook them all the way as they'll go back into the soup later. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Now, grab some beef stock and pour it into a pot. Add some salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste--it adds so much yummy richness. Make a bouquet garni by adding the peppercorns, bay leaves and remaining 1/4 cup parsley to a piece of cheesecloth and tying it into a bundle using kitchen twine; drop it right into the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the bouquet garni, which now resembles a jellyfish with jaundice. Go ahead and discard it; it's lived a full life. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery and onions and the sliced cabbage. Finally, in go the browned meatballs. Let the soup simmer long enough for the vegetables to get slightly tender and the meatballs to cook all the way through, another 20 minutes or so.
  • You can sprinkle the soup with some freshly grated Parmesan if you'd like one last dose of decadence. Serve with crusty bread.
