Herbed Meatball Soup for Zinc Control

Recipe Benefits

• This recipe features lean protein with balanced zinc levels, making it ideal for those monitoring their zinc intake.
• Lean ground beef provides essential nutrients like iron and vitamin B12, while the herbs add antioxidants without additional zinc.
• Using a clear broth instead of cream-based soups also helps keep the zinc levels balanced while providing hydration and comfort.

Ingredients

For 4 servings:

• 14 oz (400 g) lean ground beef
• 1 3/4 cups fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra to garnish
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• A little unsweetened almond milk (optional, if needed)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 heaping tbsp whole wheat flour
• 5 1/2 cups hot, low-sodium chicken or beef broth

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, and eggs until you achieve a soft paste. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little almond milk or more breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Spread the flour on a plate. With damp hands, pinch off small pieces of the mixture and form into balls no bigger than a marble. Roll the meatballs in the flour to coat.
3. In a large pot, bring the broth to a gentle boil. Add the meatballs, reduce the heat to a simmer, and poach until firm, about 10 minutes. Garnish with extra parsley before serving.
