Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Mix the Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir until combined and shape into soft balls.
- Brown the Meatballs: In a large pot, heat olive oil and brown the meatballs very well on all sides but do not cook completely. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the Broth: Melt butter in same pot, add beef broth and diced tomatoes (if using). Once all of the ingredients are combined bring the mixture to a simmer – that’s where the magic happens.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the browned meatballs and diced spinach or kale into the pot with the simmering broth. Cook for 15 – 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked and tender.
- Serve Warm: Serve the warm Keto Meatball Soup in bowls, top with additional Parmesan and enjoy supper that’s also low carbohydrate.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the meatball mixture so it remains tender.
- For consistent meatballs, use a cookie scoop.
- For variety, swap out the spinach for zucchini or cabbage.
- The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Squeeze some lemon in before serving, for a hint of brightness.
