How To Make dutch soup with tiny meatballs

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, thoroughly but lightly mix meatball ingredients, then form small meatballs (about 1 tablespoon or a little less for each). Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a medium pot over high heat, bring the broth to a boil. Add the carrots, celery, pasta and meatballs. Reduce to a simmer and cook until vegetables are fork-tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Remove from heat and top with parsley and chives. Add salt and pepper to taste.
