Meatball Soup

Hi all,

Made this last night, and thought I'd share.

Using the beans to hold the balls together seems to have worked...so, here we go.

All measurements are in approximations...

INGREDIENTS

Meatballs

500 grams of extra-lean ground beef

i can of beans (I used white beans this time)

1-2 carrots

half an onion

2 cloves garlic

2 eggs

steak spice (or any spice really)

Optional - 4 slices of diced bacon...i used this option by the way

Soup

8 cups of water

Beef + Veggie Broth to taste

1-2 carrots

2-3 cups of frozen mixed veggies

INSTRUCTIONS

Add veggies to the broth water

Bring the water to a boil, let it simmer

Meanwhile...

Preheat oven to 450

Blend all the meatball ingredients except the meat/bacon in a food processor

Once done, add this to the to meat, and form about 16 meatballs

Transfer to oven

Bake for 30 minutes, but it's a good idea to move them around once or twice so they don't stick

Once the soup has boiled for 20 minutes, I removed it, so that I could blend it (for the kids)

If you like chunky soup, keep it chunky

Remove balls, put soup in bowls, add 2-3 meatballs to bowl
