Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 small onion, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, grated onion, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to form a uniform meat mixture.

Step 2

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter). Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, brown the meatballs on all sides (they do not need to cook through). Remove and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same pot, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently add the browned meatballs back into the pot.

Step 7

Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the stoup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or on its own!
