Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make vegetable soup with meatballs? Start by preparing all the necessary products. Take chicken fillet from any parts: meatballs will turn out harder from the breast, softer and fatter from the hips. Vegetables for this soup are suitable for any, as long as their cooking time is no more than 10 minutes. There is no need to defrost in advance, take them out of the freezer at the beginning of cooking. Take any hard cheese. Refined, odorless oil is suitable.
Step 2:
Peel potatoes and dirt, rinse and cut into medium cubes. They should not be too small, so as not to boil.
Step 3:
Boil water in a five-liter saucepan, add a little salt and dip the sliced potatoes into it. Bring to a boil over high heat. Then cook for 15 minutes on medium heat under the lid.
Step 4:
While the potatoes are cooking, make a roast. Peel and rinse the onions and carrots. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into small cubes. In this form, the vegetables will fry faster and give the soup a beautiful shade. But if you don't like onion slices in the soup, lower the peeled onion into the broth entirely.
Step 5:
For frying, take a saucepan or a deep frying pan. Heat a frying pan, carefully, so as not to get burned, pour vegetable oil on it. Since carrots are cooked longer than onions, fry grated carrots first. Fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
Step 6:
When the carrots start to get softer, put the chopped onion in the pan and fry for another 3 minutes over medium heat. Be sure to stir so that the vegetables are evenly fried and do not dry out.
Step 7:
Transfer the finished roast to a saucepan and bring everything to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat under the lid.
Step 8:
Twist the chicken fillet in a meat grinder. Add a little salt and season the resulting minced meat. Form small meatballs from it in the form of balls. To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, moisten them with warm water. Do not make meatballs larger than 1.5 cm in diameter. The smaller they are, the more appetizing they look on a plate and they are more pleasant to eat.
Step 9:
If you added the whole onion, take it out now. Add meatballs to the soup. After the soup boils again, put the vegetables, salt and spices in the pan. Mix, taste, add if something is missing (salt, spices). After 10 minutes, the soup is ready.

Serve the soup hot, sprinkled with grated cheese and seasoned with sour cream. I like this soup without sour cream. It turns out to be light and pleasant to the taste. If you take fresh vegetables, they need to be cleaned, thoroughly rinsed and cut into pieces at will, but not less than 2x2 cm. If you chop them too much, they will boil and taste will be lost.

Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
