Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg well beaten
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil for cooking
For the Soup:
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/3 cup white rice optional
- 3 cups baby spinach chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 3 stalks green onion
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the meatballs in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mash everything together until well-combined (Note: You can also complete this process using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment). Form meatballs that are 1 to 2 inches in diameter and set them on a plate.
- Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Wait until the oil is very hot before adding the meatballs.
- Carefully place meatballs in a single layer in the stock pot. Brown meatballs 1 to 2 minutes, then flip to brown the other side 1 to 2 minutes. (If necessary, do this in batches until all meatballs are browned (but not cooked through). If desired, drain the pot of any excess fat before continuing.
- Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the meatballs, along with the carrots, celery, and white rice. Cover, and bring to a full boil, then immediately decrease heat to a simmer. Cook covered 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and rice is cooked.
- Add the spinach, parsley, and green onion and cover. Cook until spinach has wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
