- Ground Beef - Fresh Spinach - Onion - Garlic - Sea Salt - Ground Pepper - Italian Seasonings - Parsley - Coconut Cream or Heavy Cream
For the meatballs, I've added some sneaky veggies. I add an onion, 2 handfuls of spinach, and 3 cloves of garlic to a food processor and process until everything is in very small pieces.
Then I add the spinach/onion mixture to a large bowl along with 2 lbs. beef, sea salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, & parsley & mix everything together. After that, I roll the mixture into meatballs.
For the soup, sauté carrots, onion, celery, & garlic in a heavy-bottomed pot. Then add basil, oregano, thyme, tomato paste, a bay leaf, chopped zucchini, diced tomatoes, & chicken broth.
Allow to simmer about 20 minutes to infuse all that yummy flavor. After it's done simmering, add some balsamic vinegar for a nice depth of flavor, salt, pepper, & the meatballs. Then it's ready to eat!
