As per usual, changed this one up a bit to give it more flavour.\u00a0 Also, the original recipe called for onion soup mix – having issues with this, I used onions and garlic instead.<\/p>\n
Meatballs:
\n1 1\/2 lb ground beef chuck
\n1 egg, slightly beaten
\n1\/2 c soft bread crumbs
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1 T chopped parsley<\/p>\n
2 T butter
\n10 oz or so beef broth
\n18 oz tomatoes, undrained
\n2 c sliced pared carrots
\n1\/4 c chopped celery or celery tops
\n1\/4 c chopped parsley
\n1 chopped onion
\n3 – 5 (or to taste) cloves diced garlic
\n1\/4 tsp pepper
\n1\/4 tsp dried oregano
\n1\/4 tsp dried basil
\n1 bay leaf<\/p>\n
Make meatballs:\u00a0 combine beef, egg, 3 T water or milk, bread crumbs, salt, parsley.\u00a0 Mix lightly.\u00a0 Form into balls.
\nHeat 2 T butter in 5 qt pot.\u00a0 Saute meatballs, until browned on all sides.\u00a0 Set meatballs aside.
\nSaute the onions and garlic in the drippings from the meatballs, adding more butter if necessary.\u00a0 Add 2 c water, beef broth, tomatoes, carrots, celery, parsley, pepper, oregano, basil, and bay leaf.\u00a0 Bring to boiling, then reduce heat, and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes.\u00a0 Add meatballs and simmer another 20 or until meatballs are cooked through.
\nWe served this over pasta and with grated parmesan, general theory seems to be it is tastier as a straight soup, just serve with bread on the side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
