Ingredients

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!
