6 servings
1 hour 30 minutes 30 mins prep
1 1/2  lbs ground beef 
1  egg, slightly beaten 
1/2  cup soft breadcrumbs 
1/4  teaspoon salt 
1  tablespoon chopped parsley 
1  teaspoon minced garlic 
1/4  cup parmesan cheese 
2  tablespoons butter 
1 (10.5  ounces) can beef broth 
1 (28  ounces) can diced tomatoes (I prefer tomato puree) 
1  envelope dry onion soup mix 
2  cups sliced and peeled carrots 
2  cups diced potatoes 
1/4  cup chopped celery (optional) 
1/4  cup chopped parsley 
1/4  teaspoon pepper 
1/4  teaspoon oregano 
1/4  teaspoon basil 
1  bay leaf 

In bowl, combine first 7 ingredients with 3 Tablespoons of water.
Mix lightly.
Shape into about 24 meatballs.
In hot butter in large Dutch oven, saute meatballs, a single layer at a time, until browned on all sides.
Drain off fat.
Set meatballs aside.
In same Dutch oven, combine 2 cups water with remaining ingredients.
Bring to boiling, then reduce heat, and simmer, covered, but stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
Add meatballs and simmer 20-30 minutes longer.
Good served with Parmesan on top. If soups seems too thick, thin with water.
