Meatball soup with rice

Hearty soup with meatballs - fast, delicious and easy! The first question that housewives face before cooking this soup is how meatballs are fundamentally different from meatballs, because both there and there are meat. So, meatballs mainly consist only of meat and spices (salt, pepper, fresh or dried herbs), plus a binding element (egg, flour). In addition to meat, grits are added to meatballs – rice or buckwheat. And in composition they become similar to hedgehogs, if they are cooked accordingly. However, we have soup on the agenda, so we will continue to talk about it.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To make soup with meatballs and rice, we will need: water (2 liters), potatoes, carrots, tomatoes (I have cherry, so I took more of them), onion, vegetable oil, bay leaf, ground black pepper, salt.
Step 2:
Pour water into a saucepan, add a whole peeled onion and salt. Put on fire and bring to a boil. I also recommend adding a small stalk of celery. The broth will taste better with it.
Step 3:
Peel the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into medium cubes.
Step 4:
Grate carrots.
Step 5:
Peel and grate the tomato. It can be replaced with store-bought mashed tomatoes or ready-made tomato paste.
Step 6:
Meatballs. To prepare meatballs, we will need minced meat (I have beef, but you can take any: pork, pork + beef, chicken or turkey), rice, egg, ground black pepper and salt.
Step 7:
Rinse the rice and put it in a colander. Add rice, egg, ground black pepper and salt to the minced meat.
Step 8:
Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 9:
Form small meatballs.
Step 10:
Add meatballs to boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes, removing the foam.
Step 11:
Fry carrots in a frying pan in vegetable oil until soft.
Step 12:
Then add the tomato. Fry together for 3-4 minutes.
Step 13:
Add potatoes and fried vegetables to the pan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are ready. The finished soup can be kept under the lid for 10 minutes to infuse and then pour on plates, sprinkled with chopped herbs. Bon appetit!
