Ingredients

Meatballs:

  • ½ lb ground beef
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese fresh
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 egg whisked
  • grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well and roll into small, bite-sized meatballs (use ½ tablespoon measuring spoon to measure). Set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery, sauteing for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add the meatballs and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Scrape off any fat or scum from the top.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • To finish the soup, slowly drizzle in the whisked egg while stirring the soup to create thin egg ribbons.
  • Let it cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Serve hot, topped with fresh parmesan cheese!

Notes

  • 1 serving = 1.5 cups of soup
  • You can often find ground beef and pork premixed at the grocery store in 1lb portions. If you can find this, opt to buy that instead of pork and beef separately.
