Meatball Soup

I try to make a big pot of soup at least once a week, more during the winter. The only problem is everyone really loves soup and so it's eaten up very quickly. I really need to start using a bigger pot to make a bigger batch! Or maybe everyone needs to stop eating so much. 😉

99% of the time I don't use a recipe. I just put together an assortment of vegetables with meat and simmer until it's done. Very often the soup is so delicious and I would love to recreate it. This is one of those soups that was really enjoyed by the whole family.

Meatball Soup

  • 2 eggs [affiliate link]
  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 1/4 cup almond flour [affiliate link]
  • 2 tablespoons parsley [affiliate link] flakes
  • 1/4 cup onions [affiliate link], diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder [affiliate link]
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder [affiliate link]
  • 1 pinch chipotle powder [affiliate link], optional
  • 2 tablespoons butter or your favorite healthy fat
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt [affiliate link]
  • 2 quarts broth
  • 16 ounces of green beans
  • 4 ounces peas
  • 1 small head cabbage, sliced into 1″ thick wedges
  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled, sliced into coins
  1. Scramble eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  2. Add hamburger, almond flour, parsley flakes, diced onions, garlic powder, chili powder and optional pinch of chipotle powder.
  3. Mix well. Use a tablespoon scoop to measure meatballs.
  4. Melt butter or fat into a frying pan.
  5. Meatballs cook best if cooked slightly flattened. Saute on one side until browned, about 10 minutes. Turn meatballs over and add in 1/2 cup broth (or water), cook another 10-15 minutes until done.
  6. While the meatballs are cooking add broth and vegetables to a large pot.
  7. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  8. We like to divide the meatballs up into individual bowls and pour the soup on top.
