What is Stoup?
Before we dive into the recipe, let's talk about stoup. Stoup is a term coined by Rachael Ray that refers to a dish that's somewhere between a soup and a stew. It's thicker than a soup, but not as thick as a stew. It's hearty and filling, but still has a broth-based consistency. Stoup is the perfect meal for those times when you want something warm and comforting, but don't want to commit to a heavy stew.
Ingredients
Now, let's get to the recipe. Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) beef broth
- 1/2 pound spaghetti
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into small meatballs.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the pot and set aside.
3. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Add the diced tomatoes and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Break the spaghetti into small pieces and add it to the pot. Simmer for another 8-10 minutes, or until the spaghetti is cooked.
6. Add the meatballs back into the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
7. Serve hot, topped with chopped fresh parsley.
