Italian Meatball Soup

Take a large bowl and combine ground beef, cheese, egg, and bread crumbs in it and mix well. Add Italian seasoning in it and mix it properly to make a smooth dough-like mixture. Form small or medium-size meatballs out of this mixture and keep it aside.

Meanwhile, take a large pot and heat some olive oil in it.

Add meatballs into the pot and cook on a medium flame for about 2-3 minutes per side. (make two batches of meatballs). Cook the meatballs on medium heat for around 3-4 minutes on each side.

Once done, take meatballs out of the pot and keep it aside. In the same pot add onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic and saute for about 5 minutes until the veggies turn a little soft.

Now pour beef broth into the pot and stir well. Also, combine tomatoes, bay leaves, seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce into the pot and mix well. Let the broth come to a boil and then simmer it on low flame for 30 minutes.

Now its turn to add meatballs into the soup. After adding the meatball, allow it to simmer for another 10-15 minutes or until the veggies and meatballs are thoroughly cooked. Season the soup with black pepper and salt to taste, garnish it with cheese and cilantro and serve hot.
