I have a theory that everyone should have at least one really delicious soup recipe.
This meatball soup might be mine. I've been on a soup-making kick lately, and tried this recipe last week. It was hearty and delicious, which was good since it made a pretty large batch (it lasted us almost a week!). It also cooks quickly, as far as soups go. Steve agreed it deserves a place in our regular meal rotation (though he says that about a good many dishes...what a great husband).
Look out for my first meme (yeah, like a dork I had to look it up too), to be posted soon! Yay, I'm like a real blogger or something.
Meatball Soup
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces lean ground beef
2 14-ounce cans reduced-sodium beef broth
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dried bow tie pasta
3 cups fresh spinach, torn
In a medium bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic powder and pepper. Add ground beef, and mix well. Shape meat mixture into thirty-six 3/4-inch meatballs. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook meatballs over medium heat about 8 minute, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Set meatballs aside. In a large saucepan, stir together broth, tomatoes, mushrooms and water. Bring to boiling. Add pasta, and return to boiling. Reduce heat, and simmer covered for 10-12 minutes until pasta is tender. Stir in meatballs and spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts. Serves 5.

MMmmm...and but for the beef, there would I go! I'm sure ground turkey (ugh...I'll admit it, ground meat of any sort makes me feel a bit...ick) would be equally tasty? My Great Soup recipe is one I stole from Chookooloonks (see my blogroll) and is a Trinidad(ian) dumpling soup. Which I have made...once. But it was really, really good! Thanks for the comment!

oh, so delicious. and the best part about soup is you can make a lot and have leftovers for days.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so soup season? I keep wanting to get back to all of the recipes that I've bookmarked (like the fennel-crusted pork roast!), but the only comforting solution to this 30-40 degree COLD is something in the liquid form of hot, steaming, savory goodess. Hot rice on the side with furikake is an added bonus!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I am definitely going to try it out. I am always looking for dishes with lots of leftovers, so I can eat those for lunch at the office instead of dreaded lean cuisines. Especially now that it's (finally) getting colder outside, this recipe looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking and totally agree on the importance of a soup recipe!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good recipe. I'll have to print it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks fantastic and perfect for when it finally gets cold...yummmm.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I am a total "soup" person; I'm fairly certain I could live on them. I will definitely be trying this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYUM! That is awesome.
ReplyDeletemmm... this looks so satisfying!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you -- I have one homemade soup recipe that I love making. I think I want to make it my signature dush.
