Meatball Soup Recipe

This recipe was excellent! It was also straightforward...and I like easy on the weekdays.

↬6 cups - water

↬¹/₃ cup - rice

↬3 cubes - low-sodium beef or chicken flavored bouillon cubes (or 1 tablespoon low -sodium bouillon powder)

↬4 sprigs - fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)

↬8 ounces - lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken (90% lean, 10% fat)

↬1 - tomato, finely chopped

↬¹/₂ - onion, finely chopped

↬1 - large egg

↬¹/₂ teaspoon - salt

↬2 cups - fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, and broccoli)

In a large pot, combine water, rice, bouillon cubes, and oregano. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve bouillon. Reduce heat to low and simmer.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix ground meat, tomato, onion, egg, and salt. Form into 24 large meatballs.
Add meatballs to broth mixture and simmer 20 minutes.
Add vegetables. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked and rice and vegetables are tender. Serve.
