Directions

  1. Gently bring the water, bone, and chicken to a boil, then skim off any foam that forms. Add the bouillon cube and simmer over low heat for one hour, adding a clove and a little water halfway through.
  2. While you’re doing that, in a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, the egg yolk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and, if desired, breadcrumbs. Then, roll the mixture into small meatballs. ≈ 10 min
  3. About 15 minutes before the broth is finished, melt the butter in a large saucepan and gently brown the finely chopped onion in it.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, then the tomato paste, mix well, and pour in the filtered broth (without the clove or bone).
  5. Add a few more drops of Worcestershire sauce, and let the meatballs cook for 10 minutes.
