Ingredients
MEATBALL MIXTURE:
- ½ lb ground beef
- ½ lb mild Italian sausage If making GF choose a GF Italian Sausage, I like Boulder Sausage
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs unseasoned (if making GF use GF breadcrumbs)
- 3 Tablespoons grated parmesan or romano cheese
- 2 Tablespoons grated onion
- ½ - 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
BROTH | SOUP
- 64 oz chicken stock 2 cartons; if using a broth, taste broth to check seasonings first
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 5-6 shakes celery salt
- ½ - 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper optional
- ⅔ cup acini de pepe Riso or Orzo (any tiny pasta) (Substitute GF Pasta if making Gluten Free)
- Romano or Parmesan for serving optional
Instructions
MAKING MEATBALLS
- Combine the meatball ingredients well, get your hands in there! Shape into tiny meatballs, about the size of a teaspoon. If doubling or tripling the recipe, form into logs about 8" long by 2" in diameter. Roll tightly in plastic wrap, parchment or wax paper.
- Transfer logs to gallon freezer bag for future use, getting out as much air as possible.
MAKING THE SOUP
- In a 3 qt pot, pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Some broths are already seasoned, so be sure to taste your broth ahead of time so you don't over-season the broth. If you do, see notes.
- Once simmering, add in tiny meatballs, simmer a few minutes until they float to the surface, about 2-4 minutes. May remove meatballs with slotted spoon to a plate or keep them in while boiling your pasta, your preference. Return to simmer.
- Add the tiny pasta and boil for time recommended on package. If you removed the meatballs, add them back in and return to a simmer. Add additional seasoning if needed. Add a few teaspoons of fresh grated or shaved Parmesan or Romano cheese as a garnish. Serve immediately. Serve with a warm, crusty loaf of bread also delicious with beer bread.
- Delicious for lunch or dinner.

Notes
- If you accidentally overseason the broth, simply add water about a cup at a time until the flavors are balanced and the soup is heated through.
