High Folate, High Iron Beef Meatball Soup

With two active children between 4 and 7, I like to keep my meals high folate to promote growth and high iron to sustain their energy level.

Eggs, 3

Paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, celery powder, black pepper

Yellow split peas, 120 g

Green split peas, 120 g
