Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Combine ground beef, egg, almond flour, salt and crushed red pepper in a large mixing bowl until a smooth mixture remains
Using a 1/2 tbsp scoop, scoop our 40 scoops onto the baking sheet and roll into tight small balls
Bake for 12 minutes
While the meatballs bake, mince the garlic and dice the yellow onion
Heat your soup pot over medium-low heat and add oil, garlic, and onion to the warm pot
Saute the garlic and onions until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes
Add salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano to the pot and mix
Mix in the tomato paste
Pour in the vegetable broth, water, diced tomatoes, and cauliflower rice
Bring the soup to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes
After the soup simmers for 20 minutes, turn off the heat
Either blend the soup directly in the pot with an immersion blender or blend in a standard blender in batches and return to the pot
Add the cooked meatballs back into the soup pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes
Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
