Equipment
- Large Soup Pot
- Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- 12-18 small prepared keto meatballs about 1 pound total before cooking
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
- 4 celery stalks finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 cups chicken broth preferably low-sodium bone broth
- 2 cups riced cauliflower fresh or frozen
- 2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves or 1 cup frozen spinach
- Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
Instructions
- If you haven't already, prepare your favorite small keto meatballs (aim for about 3/4-inch diameter). You can either pre-cook them, add them raw to the simmering soup, or use frozen meatballs.
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, warm the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for just one more minute until you can smell its aroma.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle, steady simmer.
- Carefully add the riced cauliflower and your prepared meatballs to the simmering broth. Continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, making sure the meatballs are fully cooked through or thoroughly warmed.
- Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook for just about 2 minutes, until they are wilted. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings with extra salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese before serving.
