Hobbit soup

Still fine tuning the recipe with the spice amounts.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

For Meatballs: Add equal parts paprika, coriander, garlic powder, and onion powder. Then add half as much fennel and cayenne, salt and pepper to taste

Step 2

For Meatballs: Grab bowl and add spices, beef and egg together. Make small meatballs.

Step 3

For Meatballs: Fry some meatballs in a pan to get the flavor in, then I'd recommend oven roasting the rest at 425 on a rack. They get way too greasy otherwise.

Step 4

Chop onions, peel potato (can chop potato while meat cooks)

Step 5

In a large pot, fry garlic, onion, and any peppers.

Step 6

Add in butter and flour, to make a roux. Start with slowly melting butter, then gradually as flour so it won't clump.

Step 7

Add ONLY 16 ounces of chicken stock once onions are done, and bring to a light boil.

Step 8

Add potato bites, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Get soup broth to correct taste.

Step 9

Add meatballs and half and half, simmer and reduce till it's a bit thicker

Step 10

Clean spinach, and lay in bottom of bowls. Serve stew, and have bread to dip!
