Italian Meatball Soup - for Kathy Streib

 Italian Meatball Soup For Kathy Streib

and everyone else.

This post is for Kathy Streib who asked for the recipe on yesterday's post.

I was going to add a picture but when I went looking for the soup, I found that Craig froze the rest of the soup last night. It looks like a lot of work but it really isn't. Take it in steps. Very often I prepare the meatballs and freeze them in a freezer bag. Then make the soup another day.

 

Meatballs

I cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (I use plain Pankos and add my own seasoning).

½ c grated Parmesan Cheese (use good stuff, not the stuff in green round boxes).

¼ c dried parsley

2 Tbl water

1 tsp dried basil (or more if you’re like me)

1 Tsp. black pepper

1 pound ground round or ground turkey (I use ground turkey breast--add another Tbs water)

1 large egg

Cooking Spray

 
Soup

1/12 tsp oil.

1 c chopped onion

½ c chopped celery

1 cup sliced carrots

2 c low-sodium tomato juice (I use V8)

½ c chopped green or red bell pepper

½ c frozen green beans or other greenie

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

⅛ tsp black pepper

2 (14.5 oz cans) low salt beef broth

 
Preheat oven to 375

To prepare meatballs, combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Mix until all blended. Shape into 30 one inch balls and place on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. I use a cookie tin and alum foild sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake for 20 minutes (roughly 17-18 if using turkey). Drain on paper towels.

To prepare soup: heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, green/red peper and celery and saute for 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the meatballs, tomato juice, and all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are done. Yield is 6 servings.

 

Unfortunately, I can't give credit to whoever made up this wonderful recipe;

I've had it forever and have no notation on it. The only thing my recipe says is my notation

"wonderful".
