Vegetable soup with meatballs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make vegetable soup with meatballs? Start by preparing all the necessary ingredients. Take chicken fillet from any part: from the breast the meatballs will be firmer, from the thighs - softer and fattier. Any vegetables are suitable for this soup, as long as their cooking time is no more than 10 minutes. There is no need to defrost them in advance; remove them from the freezer at the beginning of cooking. Take any hard cheese. Refined, odorless oil is suitable.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes and remove dirt, rinse and cut into medium cubes. They should not be too small so as not to overcook.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil water in a five-liter saucepan, add a little salt and place the chopped potatoes in it. Bring to a boil over high heat. Then cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, covered.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, fry them. 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 color. But if you don’t like chunks of onion in the soup, dip the whole peeled onion into the broth.

5. STEP 5

   

   To fry, take a saucepan or deep frying pan. Heat a frying pan, carefully pour vegetable oil onto it so as not to burn yourself. Since carrots take longer to cook than onions, fry the grated carrots first. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the carrots begin to soften, add the chopped onion to the pan and fry for another 3 minutes over medium heat. Be sure to stir so that the vegetables cook evenly and do not dry out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the finished frying into a saucepan and bring everything to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, covered.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grind the chicken fillet in a meat grinder. Season the resulting minced meat with a little salt and seasoning. Form it into small ball-shaped meatballs. 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 the more pleasant they are to eat.

9. STEP 9

   

   If you added whole onions, remove them now. Add meatballs to the soup. After the soup boils again, add vegetables, salt and spices to the pan. Stir, taste, add if something is missing (salt, spices). After 10 minutes the soup is ready.

I liked the recipe for its versatility in the selection of vegetables. I took the simplest and most affordable vegetables for cooking - potatoes, carrots and onions. For the meatballs I chose homemade chicken fillet. Boil finely chopped vegetables in salted water. I made minced chicken meat, ground it with an immersion blender to a paste, and stuck it into meatballs. Very easy and quick preparation of a delicious soup. Everyone liked the vegetable soup with meatballs. It is light, aromatic, filling and very tasty. When serving for children, I did not add sour cream and cheese. Delicious! Thanks for the wonderful recipe 😊
