Meatball Soup Recipe: A 45 Minutes Soup Packed With Flavors

Ingredients

• Ground beef : 85% lean. You can opt for leaner options (95% lean is maximum) to reduce the saturated fat content of the dish.
• Ground beef seasonings : parsley, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. The last two ingredients make the meatballs airier and softer.
• Veggies : garlic, onion, tomatoes, bell peppers, carrot, and celery. The use of two types of peppers is solely to make the soup more colorful—you can use one type if you want.
• Seasonings : tomato paste, salt, pepper, beef gravy mix, oregano, and paprika. We cooked the tomato paste until it melted rather than adding it after the liquids, to develop more flavors.
• Thickener : all-purpose flour. It slightly thickens the soup and gives it a silky mouthfeel.
