Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, halved
1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by making the meatballs and soup base a day in advance. Just store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and cook.
  • Choose the Right Meat: Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a flavorful and juicy meatball. You can also use all beef or all pork, but the mixed blend is ideal.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be shy with the seasonings for both the meatballs and the soup base. The right blend of herbs and spices will elevate the flavors.
  • Brown the Meatballs: Before adding the meatballs to the soup, brown them in a skillet. This step adds depth of flavor and helps keep the meatballs intact during cooking.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer it simmers, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with Love: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This spicy meatball soup is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a chilly day. With its blend of tender meatballs, savory broth, and a hint of spice, it's a soup that is sure to warm your body and soul. So next time you're craving a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
