Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 0.5 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 0.25 cup breadcrumbs, and 0.25 tsp salt until just combined. Roll into 1-inch meatballs.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring the 6 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add the meatballs and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer gently until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 1 medium carrot (peeled and diced) and 0.5 cup orzo pasta to the pot. Stir once, then simmer until orzo is tender and carrot is soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and remaining 0.25 tsp salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
