Ingredients

For the Meatballs

½ cup grated onion from about 1 medium yellow onion
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast*
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
⅓ cup almond flour
2 pounds ground dark meat turkey or ground beef

For the Soup

1 medium yellow onion chopped
2 cups chopped carrots
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 15-oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 quart chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt-free Italian seasoning
1-2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups baby spinach
1 lemon juiced
For serving: extra virgin olive oil fresh chopped rosemary

Instructions

Make the meatballs by combining the grated onion, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, flour, and turkey in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined, being careful not to over-mix. Form into meatballs, about 1 teaspoon each.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an electric pressure cooker set to saute for 8 minutes. Add the onion and pinch of salt and cook until soft.
Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, Italian seasoning, salt and meatballs.
Secure the lid, select the manual setting, and set it to high pressure for 10 minutes. When the pressure cooker timer is done, quick release the pressure.
Uncover, add the spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted. Add the lemon juice, stirring to combine. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary and healthy drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Nutritional yeast: adds a cheesy flavor without containing any dairy. Find it on the bulk aisle of your natural foods store, or in the baking section. It adds an essential "cheesy" flavor to the recipe, which makes a difference in the overall flavor. If you can’t find it or don’t want to use it, the meatballs won’t be quite as flavorful but the soup will still be tasty.
