Start by making the bone broth a few days in advance to reap the full benefits from the bones. Making bone broth is a slow process, but luckily requires minimal prep time. The magic happens as it slowly simmers. Preparing a large batch of bone broth will save lots of time in the future, and it can be frozen to have on hand in a pinch. Note: We used this beef bone broth recipe.
Once your bone broth is prepared, combine ingredients for the meatballs and roll into small balls about the size of a superball. Cook the meatballs in a large pan just long enough to brown (they will finish cooking in the soup). I like to brown my meatballs before adding them to sauces or soup because it deepens the flavor and adds even more richness to any recipe without the need for a lot of extra ingredients.
Next, combine the vegetables in a large stock pot or Dutch oven and sauté until they begin to tenderize. Pour in the bone broth along with herbs and meatballs and simmer for 15 minutes to fully cook the meatballs and allow all of the flavors to mingle together. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and let it melt your worries away.
Tips:
- Combine with 1-2 tablespoons arrowroot powder to create a gravy and smother over meat and Paleo biscuits.
- Freeze bone broth in ice cube trays and pop out as needed to melt down and sauté with veggies and stir-fries instead of oil.
- Stir into cauliflower rice to add a meaty flavor.
