Lamb meatball soup is a hearty, comforting dish perfect for cold days. Here’s a simple guide to making it from scratch.

Ingredients:

- 500g ground lamb (or a mix of lamb and beef for richer flavor)

- 1 small onion, finely grated

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tsp ground cumin

- 1 tsp paprika

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 egg (as a binder)

- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

- 4 cups beef or lamb broth

- 1 carrot, diced

Steps:

1. Prepare the meatballs: In a bowl, mix ground lamb, grated onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, egg, and parsley. Roll into 1-inch balls.

2. Cook the base: Heat olive oil in a pot. Sauté carrot and potato for 3 minutes until slightly softened.

3. Simmer: Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Add meatballs gently, ensuring they’re submerged.

4. Cook until done: Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and vegetables are tender.

5. Serve: Garnish with extra parsley or a drizzle of lemon juice.
