Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the 0.5 lb ground beef with 0.25 tsp salt. Roll into 12 small meatballs, about 1 inch each.
Step 2
Peel and dice the 2 carrots and 2 potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the 0.5 onion.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring the 4 cups beef broth to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots, potatoes, and onion. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Gently drop the meatballs into the simmering broth. Cook until they are cooked through and float to the surface, about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining 0.25 tsp salt to taste.
Step 5
Ladle the hot broth and vegetables into bowls, making sure each gets 3 meatballs. Serve immediately.
