Meatball soup directions
In a medium bowl combine ground beef, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and parsley flakes. Gently stir until mixture is well mixed. Shape meat mixture into 18 to 24 meatballs.

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt margarine. Add meatballs in single-layer batches and brown on all sides; drain meatballs and refrigerate while preparing soup. Drain off fat in Dutch oven; add beef broth, 2 cups water, tomatoes, onion soup mix, sliced carrots and celery, parsley, pepper, oregano, basil, and bay leaf. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add meatballs; cover and simmer meatball soup 20 to 25 minutes longer.
