Spinach and meatball soup is a nutritious and comforting dish, perfect for any season. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: For the meatballs, you’ll need 500g ground pork (or a mix of pork and beef), 1 egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 finely chopped onion, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. For the soup, 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth, 200g fresh spinach, 1 carrot (sliced), and 1 green onion (chopped) work well.

Steps:

1. Make the meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground meat, egg, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly, then roll into 1-inch balls.

2. Cook the soup: Heat broth in a pot over medium heat. Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Gently drop in the meatballs, simmer for 8–10 minutes until cooked through.

3. Add spinach: Stir in spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with extra salt or pepper if needed.

4. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy hot with crusty bread or rice!

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or a pinch of dried herbs. This soup is versatile—feel free to add mushrooms or noodles for heartier versions. Quick, healthy, and satisfying!
