Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently and form into small meatballs.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides. Set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced potatoes to the pot. Cook until onions are translucent (about 5–7 minutes).
  4. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a simmer, and return meatballs to the pot. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and heat for 2–3 minutes without boiling.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free twist, replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk. For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Adjust seasonings as needed at the end.
