- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound ground pork/veal/beef combined

Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep large saucepan over medium heat and add carrots, celery, onion and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, cover pot and cook veggies for 5 minutes, stirring now and then.
- While the veggies cook, combine meat, egg, garlic, cheese, crumbs and nutmeg. Roll the mixture into very small meatballs.
- Uncover pot and add broth and bring to a boil. When soup boils, add the meatballs.
