1 large egg
2 tbsp milk
¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the soup

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
Ingredient note
Tomatoes carry a little excess fructose that a low fructose diet watches in larger servings; the small amount used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid diced tomatoes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
6 cups chicken broth
1 tsp dried italian seasoning
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
3 cups baby spinach, loosely packed

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Parmesan, 2 cloves minced garlic, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 24 meatballs) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
