Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Meatballs:

    • 10 oz (280g) lean ground beef
    • 1 Tbsp mint, chopped
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • 1/3 cup potato, grated
    • Salt, to taste

    For the Soup:

    1. 1 onion, finely chopped
    2. 1/2 carrot (or 1 small), chopped
    3. 1 1/2 potatoes, chopped into small cubes
    4. 1 Tbsp red chili, finely chopped (optional)
    5. 4–5 cups water or stock (use more if needed)
    6. 1 small tomato, blended or finely chopped
    7. 2 garlic cloves, minced
    8. 1 Tbsp olive oil
    9. 1 tsp oregano
    10. Handful of fresh basil, finely chopped
    11. 1 egg yolk
    12. 1–2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Meatballs: In a bowl, mix ground beef with grated potato, mint, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Shape the mixture into small meatballs.
  • Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the onion, carrot, potatoes, red chili (if using), tomato, and basil. Mince the garlic.
  • Cook the Soup: In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté the onions until softened. Add carrots, potatoes, red chili, tomato, and garlic. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Meatballs and Simmer: Pour in 4 cups of water or stock and bring to a boil. Carefully add the meatballs, reduce heat, and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes. Add more water or stock if needed.
  • Season and Finish: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh basil.
  • Temper the Egg Yolk: In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with lemon juice or vinegar. Slowly ladle some hot soup broth into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid scrambling. Repeat 3–4 times, then pour the mixture into the soup.

 

  • Serve Immediately: Turn off the heat and enjoy your delicious homemade meatball soup!

Notes

  • You can use chicken or turkey for the meatballs if you prefer a leaner protein.
  • For a richer broth, consider using stock instead of water.

 

  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add more chili or a dash of hot sauce.
