Mother Hubbard Meatball Soup Recipes

EASY MEATBALL SOUP

Steps:

• Place the meatball ingredients in one large mixing bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Mix until the meat mixture is well incorporated.
• Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 ½ tbsp each (whatever size you choose, stick to it). Arrange the meatballs on a large, lightly oiled sheet pan and broil for 5 to 8 minutes until browned (they will cook some more in the soup).
• In a large pot, heat about 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add broth and tomatoes. Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook over mediu/medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
• Add the meatballs and pasta. Cook for 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked.
• Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Transfer to serving bowls, and if you like sprinkle a bit more grated Parmesan cheese. If you like heat, add some crushed pepper flakes. Enjoy!

EASY MOM'S MEATBALL SOUP

Steps:

• Combine together ground meat, salt, pepper, and an egg.
• Using the meat mixture, form round shapes. You can use a small ice cream school to help achieve more even results.
• Sautée grated carrots and diced onions with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Sautée until the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes) and set them aside.
• Place a cooking pot with 4 quarts of water on high heat. Add potatoes, rice and sauteed ingredients to the pot. Bring it to a boil and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
• Once it's boiling, one by one, add meatballs into the water. Make sure that the water is boiling at all times, otherwise the meatballs will fall apart. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes.
• Add green onions and parsley to the meatball soup. Let it all cook for another 15 minutes. Serve soup right away or reheat before serving.

MOTHER HUBBARD'S SOUP

Steps:

• Amounts aren't critical.
• Avoid broccoli and cauliflower; they're too strong-tasting.
• Save them for a soup all their own.
• Cook pasta in either water or broth.
• If you are using only water, drain.
• DO NOT drain if you use broth.
• Any vegetables that aren't precooked should be thrown in with the pasta while it's cooking.
• Add pre-cooked vegetables, meat and tomato sauce.
• If not"soupy" enough, add more broth or water.
• Add seasonings and salt and pepper to taste.
• If you use pizza or pasta sauce or one of the newer flavored tomato sauces, be sure to taste before adding additional seasoning.
• Simmer about 15 minutes.
