- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 medium parsnip (diced)

- 1 teaspoon fresh dill (may sub with 1/4 teaspoon dry dill, I always assure fresh dill when making this one)

Meatballs
- 1 lb ground pork (very lean)

- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Directions
- Stock:bring water to a boil and add the chopped vegetables. Lower the heat to medium and cook until partly done. Add salt and pepper to taste. ( I do a bit of tweaking - I saute the onions and celery in a little oil - then add in the rest of the vegetables stirring for several minutes before adding the water and bringing to a boil.) then follow through to lowering the heat to medium and cooking until partly cooked.
- Meatballs:Mix all the meatball ingredients and form into 1 inch balls.
- Drop meatballs into the stock mixture.
- Add dill, parsley and lemon juice.
- Cook for 1/2 hour or until meatballs are done.
