Meatball soup with rice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook meatball soup with rice and potatoes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the soup. I used cherry tomatoes, so I took three of them. Tomatoes can be replaced with store-bought pureed tomatoes or ready-made tomato paste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water into the pan, add a whole peeled onion and salt. Place the pan on the fire and bring the water to a boil. If desired, you can add a small stalk of celery. It makes the broth tastier. A separate article at the link at the end of the recipe will help you choose the ideal soup pot.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash all vegetables. Peel the potatoes and cut into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the carrots and grate them.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the tomato and also grate it. Read at the end of the recipe for information on how to properly peel tomatoes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the meatballs. I used minced beef, but you can use any minced meat. Read about how to choose the right rice in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   Rinse the rice and drain in a colander. Add rice, egg, ground black pepper and salt to taste to the minced meat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything thoroughly

9. STEP 9

   

   Form small meatballs from the resulting minced meat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add meatballs to boiling water. Cook the soup for about 10 minutes, skimming off the foam.

11. STEP 11

    

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry carrots in it until soft.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add the grated tomato to the carrots and fry everything together for 3-4 minutes. To make the soup even more satisfying, you can add bell peppers, green beans, and finely chopped onions at this stage.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place potatoes and roasted vegetables in the pan. Cook the soup, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Turn off the heat and keep the finished soup covered for about 10 minutes to let it steep. Pour the soup into bowls and sprinkle with chopped herbs if desired. Bon appetit!

I usually cook soup with meatballs, but this was my first time making meatball soup with rice. I made the meatballs the night before and froze them, and made the soup in the morning. I fried the carrots with the addition of diced tomatoes and a spoonful of tomato paste. The soup cooked very quickly! And it turned out very tasty! The meatballs turned out to look like hedgehogs) I added smoked paprika and dried basil for flavor. The soup is rich, filling, and a complete meal. Great recipe!
