1 large onion, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oil in a kettle and saute onion until tender, without allowing it to brown. Add garlic, tomato puree and broth. Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if needed. Bring to a boil. Add meat balls. Cover and simmer gently until meat balls are cooked, about 45 minutes.
