Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin

Soup

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional (for a thicker soup)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375° F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated parmesan, almond flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Whisk and then mix into the meat mixture.
  • Form into small meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for 7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 7 minutes.

  • Add the tomatoes, broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add heavy cream and xanthan gum and cook for 5 minutes.

  • If desired, stir in palmini noodles and cook until warmed through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
