  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 8 oz egg noodles (or preferred pasta)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  2. Form Meatballs: Wet your hands to form small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and remaining onions with diced carrots and celery; sauté for about five minutes until softened.
  4. Simmer the Broth: Add chicken broth to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Carefully drop in meatballs one by one into the simmering broth.
  5. Add Noodles: After ten minutes of cooking meatballs, add noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions.
  6. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
