- one tsp powdered garlic
- One-half tsp dried oregano
- Grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup

Regarding the Soup:
- Two tsp olive oil
- One cup sliced carrot
- one cup diced onion
- one tablespoon chopped garlic
- One spoonful of pasted tomatoes
- 8 cups of chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped thyme
- Half a teaspoon of kosher salt
- To taste, freshly ground black pepper
- Five ounces of freshly chopped baby spinach
- one cup pasta, ditalini
- Grated Parmesan cheese for soup presentation
Instructions:
- Set oven temperature to 400 degrees. Combine all the meatball ingredients in a bowl and stir to blend them thoroughly.
- Roll the meat mixture into meatballs slightly smaller than a golf ball and arrange on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- After 12 minutes of baking, take the meatballs out of the oven and leave them aside.
- Add the onions and carrots to a large soup pot or Dutch oven, along with the oil. Simmer for 6–7 minutes, or until tender. After adding and cooking the garlic for 30 seconds, mix in the tomato paste.
- Add the chicken stock to the pot, then mix the vegetables to incorporate them. Add the salt, freshly ground black pepper, and thyme to taste. After bringing the soup to a simmer, mix in the spinach and let it wilt.
- Cover and simmer the soup over medium heat for fifteen minutes.
- After taking off the cover and giving the soup a toss, add the pasta and meatballs. Simmer the soup while stirring it.
- Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent pasta from sticking to the pot. Check the soup’s taste and add some grated Parmesan cheese as a garnish.
Notes:
Store: Allow soup to cool completely before putting it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Utilise in three days.
Reheat: For a quick and simple dinner, reheat the soup in the microwave.
Freeze: You can freeze this soup, but when you reheat it, it can get a little mushy. It’s also possible to make the soup without the pasta, freeze it, and then reheat it with the cooked pasta in your dish.
