Boil 15 cups of water in a large pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and Danos seasoning to the boiling water.

Slowly add in 6 medium potatoes.

Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, and the ground meatloaf mix; mix until well blended.

Roll the meat mixture into small meatballs and place them on a tray.

After 10 minutes of boiling, add 3 medium carrots to the pot.

Optionally, add 1/2 cup of pasta to the boiling soup.

Once the carrots are softened, add the rolled meatballs to the soup.

Cook the meatballs for about 10 minutes until they float to the top and are cooked through.

In a separate pan, heat 3 tablespoons of canola oil over medium-high heat and add 2 cloves of garlic to toast.

Add the remaining chopped onion and celery to the pan and sauté until softened.
