Pork Meatball Soup with Dill, Sour Cream & Lemon

As with many of my favourite recipes, this one began as an impromptu, last-minute meal made with whatever I had on hand… some mince and silverbeet that needed using up, some leftover grain-free muffins blended to make crumbs, some herbs from my garden, a bit of milk kefir and sour cream, and a lonely tomato from the veggie drawer… 😄 We all LOVED it!! I think the fresh dill, sour cream and lemon made all the difference. 🤤

Since posting this video on my social media showing how to make the soup, I’ve made it lots more times for the family, had many messages from people who made it and loved it, served it at both my gut health retreats in Italy and Far North Queensland this year, and the other day I took a big jarful to my hairdresser (with the recipe) and she says she makes it almost every week now! I’m often asked where to find the recipe, so I thought I’d better hurry up and share it on the blog. 😁 So here it is!

Note: I added a handful of rice to the original batch to bulk it out a little, but at my recent gut health retreat I swapped the rice for red lentils – try that if you are working on gut healing and need to avoid starches. You can also swap out the dairy products for non-dairy options if you need to – see the variations on the recipe for tips.
