FAQ: Carnivore Meatball Soup
Welcome to the Carnivore Meatball Soup FAQ, where I tackle your burning questions with a side of humor and a dash of culinary wisdom. Whether you’re wondering if you can substitute T-Rex for beef, or if adding veggies will invoke the wrath of the meat gods, I’ve got you covered. Prepare to dive into a meaty world of deliciousness and laughter — because even the most serious soup deserves a sprinkle of fun!
Can I use dinosaur meat for the meatballs?
If you can find a T-Rex butcher, go for it! Otherwise, stick to beef, pork, or lamb. But if you do find dinosaur meat, please invite me over for dinner.
Is bone broth really necessary, or can I use something else like soda?
Bone broth is the secret to a rich, flavorful, and nutritious soup. Using soda might turn your soup into a science experiment, and plain water makes it, well, plain. Stick with bone broth unless you’re aiming for a Meatball Fizz surprise.
How do I know when the meatballs are done?
When they stop trying to escape the pot. Seriously, they should be firm and not pink inside. If you’re unsure, taste one — if it bites back, it needs more time.
Can I add something green to this soup, or will that upset the meat gods?
If you are not a strict carnivore, you can sneak in some onions or zucchini, but do it quietly. The meat gods might frown upon it, but your taste buds will thank you for the added flavor.
How should I store leftovers without them turning into a science project?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If they start growing fur, it’s time to let them go. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the meatballs tender.
Can I freeze this soup and send it to my future self?
Yes! Let the soup cool completely, then freeze in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. It’ll keep for up to 3 months. Your future self will thank you for the delicious time capsule.
What if I want to impress my in-laws with this soup?
Serve it in fine china with a side of flattery. Compliment their taste and assure them that this recipe has been passed down from the great carnivorous chefs of yore. If all else fails, distract them with dessert.
