Ingredients
1 lb ground beef or turkey
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
6 cups beef or chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
A handful fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup small pasta (optional, e.g., ditalini or orzo)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
- Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully drop the meatballs into the pot. Cook gently, rolling them occasionally, until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes, broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
- If using small pasta, stir it in now and cook until tender, about 7-8 minutes.
- Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving.
