Y’all are just loving the Instant Pot recipes lately. Well, I’ve got a new one for you. This Cabbage and Liver Meatball Soup is completely AIP paleo, healthy, and perfect for those chilly winter days and nights. Plus, it’s a great way to get your liver in your diet. By using chicken livers, you get a much milder liver flavor. Mixed in with the other flavors, you won’t even know you’re eating liver!
Ingredients
- Meatballs
- 1/2 pound chicken livers
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon each basil, oregano and rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- Soup
- 1 small head cabbage, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 parsnips, spiralized (If you don’t have a spiralizer, just slice)
- 4 cups plus bone broth or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon basil
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- First, make meatballs. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place chicken livers into food processor, and process until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor, simply chop liver into very small pieces. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix until incorporated well. Spoon out a little more than a tablespoon of mixture, roll into ball, and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Continue until all mixture is used. Place in oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Should make about 12 meatballs. Reserve for soup.
- Fill Instant Pot inner pot with cabbage, carrots, garlic, and parsnip noodles.
- Place meatballs on top.
- Cover with broth, to about an inch below Fill line.
- Add basil.
- Close lid securely.
- Press Soup button.
- Allow to cook for 30 minutes.
- When buzzer sounds, and cooking is done, press Off button.
- Allow pressure to decrease naturally for 10 minutes.
- Carefully, open lid.
- Serve.
- Add salt to taste.
Hope y’all enjoy this nutrient filled, warming Instant Pot AIP Cabbage and Liver Meatball Soup. If you haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon, you may want to seriously consider getting one. This wonderful appliance has transformed the way I cook. I can easily churn out dish after delicious dish, in half the time. And, if you already own an Instant Pot, you may want to consider purchasing a second inner pot. You will be able to easily go from cooking one meal to the next, with your second pot. This is great for when you’re batch cooking. I use my two inner pots all the time. I’ll cook one dish, then pop in another one right away, as the other one cools. Last week, I cooked four dishes in my Instant Pot, one right after the other. Now, that’s the way to cut down time during your batch cooking session!
Below, you’ll find links to the Instant Pot, extra inner pot, and the spiralizer I used to make the parsnip noodles.
As always, I wish you good health…….and, good food!
