Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup uncooked pasta

Begin by mixing together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, and beaten egg in a large bowl. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring the beef broth and diced tomatoes to a boil. Add the chopped carrots, celery, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and reduce heat to a simmer. Carefully drop the meatballs into the soup and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Add the uncooked pasta to the soup and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
