Dutch Meatball Soup image

This delicious soup is easy to make, even if you're on a budget! The flavor is rich and OH so yummy! I got the recipe from my sister, Lynn, who got it from our Beppe (Freisian for Grandma).

Time 1h40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large onion, chopped
1/2 medium head green cabbage
2 -3 carrots, chopped
2 -3 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
8 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce or 1 (15 ounce) can tomato paste
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt (scant)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat 1 T. oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven or stock pot.
  • Add chopped vegetables and salt, pepper. Feel free to throw in whatever vegies you have in the fridge or want to use up!
  • Saute until somewhat soft.
  • Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute or two.
  • Add water. Cover and simmer until vegetables are soft (30-90 minutes). Skim as needed.
  • Use a hand-held blender to blend soup smooth, or put through regular blender in portions and return to pan. Add water if it is too thick (the soup should be thicker than broth, but thinner than tomato sauce).
  • Stir in tomato sauce or paste, and again bring soup to a boil.
  • Mix together ground beef and seasonings.
  • Form into small balls (1/2-1") and drop into boiling soup. Simmer 10 minutes or so until meatballs are cooked through.
  • Check for taste, add salt and/or pepper if needed.
  • Serve with crusty French bread and salad!
