Recipes of soups with meatballs
The preparation of this dish does not require muchamount of time, and quite often it can be cooked both as a first and second course. In other words, if your child refuses to eat even such soup, you have the opportunity to persuade him to have a second course. In this case, when pouring soup, you simply put more “thick” ingredients in the plate, there is almost no need to add broth. Soups with meatballs in different variations with additional ingredients are present in the cuisines of many different countries. As most adults who attended kindergartens remember, meatballs are small-diameter balls that are twisted from minced meat, fish or chicken. You can cook it yourself or buy it in a store. The first option is much preferable, since when cooking it yourself, you know exactly what is in the composition of the future dish. Having bought meat (no matter what kind) at the market or in a butcher shop, you put it through a meat grinder, you can immediately add onions. After that, all that remains is to roll small balls, which a little later will become a wonderful addition to vegetable soup.

This recipe requires preparing minced meat from minced meat, grated onion, carrot, egg, herbs, spices and rice. We do not add all the onion to the meatballs - 1 large onion is enough. The same with the carrots. Finely chop the remaining onion and fry until it becomes transparent. At this time, mix the minced meat with the remaining ingredients included in the meatballs, and form small balls from the resulting mass. Add the remaining carrots, tomato to the transparent onion and fry over very low heat for 3-4 minutes. While the vegetables are stewing, we boil water, add salt to it and throw in the meatballs one by one - meatballs. They must be cooked in boiling water for 10 minutes.

To make tomato soup withmeatballs, you must, first of all, correctly distribute all the stages of cooking. For this, you will need several types of dishes. First, we need a deep saucepan. Pour vegetable oil into it and fry the onion there. Send canned tomatoes and spices to the golden oily onion. Mix everything thoroughly and add this vegetable mass to the broth. As soon as everything boils, reduce the heat to medium power and cook it for another 10 minutes. Do not forget to stir this soup preparation from time to time and remove the foam that has formed on the surface of the broth. Next, we take a low saucepan in which we knead the minced meat directly for the meatballs. Their recipe here includes minced meat, an egg, half of the breadcrumbs, spices and salt. Divide this mass into small pieces and twist them into medium-sized balls. Next, we need a clean, dry frying pan. We add chopped almonds, add the rest of the breadcrumbs and fry directly in a dry frying pan without adding oil for 1 minute. After that, we put the vegetables boiled in the saucepan into a saucepan with the remaining broth, and add potatoes to it, which we cut into large slices. The potatoes are boiled together with the rest of the (sautéed) vegetables for 7-8 minutes. As soon as this time has passed, you move on to sending fried nuts and meatballs into the soup. It remains to cook the soup for only 10 minutes. But in order for the soup to be as tasty as possible, it is worth seasoning it with herbs and crushed garlic, and at the end, cover it tightly with a lid and you can also cover it with a warm towel. Let the soup brew for 20 minutes, and only after that you can set the table and serve the finished dish.

- 1 egg,
- myrin,
- salt.
Beat the egg, add mirin and salt,fry in a preheated frying pan on both sides. Do not overdo it, but at the same time you should cook it so that it does not spread and does not fall apart. As soon as the omelette is ready, you need to cut it into long strips (approximately 15-20 cm). Cool them for 5 minutes and tie the resulting strips into knots. To prepare the broth, you will need a little less than 1 liter of water, which must be boiled. Add sake (or wine), soy sauce and salt to the boiling water. Everything is ready. All that remains is to collect all the ingredients in one dish. Put the boiled meatballs and tied knots in a plate, pour the broth into them. In order to decorate the dish when serving the table, green onion feathers are added to the Chinese soup. To do this, they need to be soaked for at least 5 minutes in a separate bowl with cold water.
Recipes of soups with meatballs in a multivark
Despite the fact that the soup with meatballs is alreadyis a kind of instant soup, it is quite possible to cook it in a multicooker, which will allow you to save even more time than traditional cooking of soup with meatballs. Soup with ready-made meatballs in a multicooker In order to cook a quick soup, you will need ready-made meatballs, which can be purchased frozen or chilled in any supermarket. In addition to them, you will need the following ingredients, which are included in the dish:
- 1 onion,
- 4-5 potatoes,
- 1 carrot,
- 2-3 tablespoons of rice,
- water - 2 liters,
- Spices and salt to taste.
First of all, we take onions and carrots.Peel the onion, wash and cut into very small cubes. Wash the carrots well, peel them and grate them on a coarse grater or chop them with a vegetable cutter. Set the multicooker to the “baking” mode and sauté the carrots and onions in it for 7-10 minutes. This is enough for the onion to become translucent. There is no need to bring the vegetables to a state where they crunch on your teeth. Next, peel and cut the potatoes into medium slices. Add the potatoes to the onion and carrots, add the meatballs, rice and all sorts of spices (if you are not a fan of spicy food, you can get by with just salt, black pepper and bay leaf). Add 1.5-2 liters of water, and it should be hot right away. Continue cooking the soup in the “stewing” mode for 30-40 minutes. This is enough, since almost all the products are ready by this time, and by 40 minutes the potatoes are cooked. So, if your meatballs are already ready, then you will spend only 5-10 minutes preparing the soup. During this time, you will throw all the necessary ingredients into the multicooker and will be able to devote the remaining time to something more important and interesting. Recipe for soup with chicken meatballs Few people eat minced meat. Some watch their figure and do not eat any food except dietary. Someone tries to save on buying food, because now it is much more affordable to buy chicken than to buy beef or pork tenderloin. To prepare soup with chicken meatballs, you will need:
- 1.5-2 liters of water,
- 1 egg,
- 250 gr. chicken fillet,
- 1 slice of white bread,
- 1 carrot,
- 3 potatoes,
- 100 gr. noodles at home,
- 1 onion,
- greens and spices.
This recipe requires boiling the vegetables first.Therefore, first we add not meat, but diced potatoes and carrots into boiling water. Cook these products until half-ready (about 15 minutes), during which time you can cook meatballs. In a meat grinder, we pass not only meat (in this case, chicken fillet), but also an onion and a slice of bread. Season this mixture with spices and salt, add 1 egg and mix everything well. You will have just enough time to roll small balls when the potatoes and carrots are half-ready. Throw the meatballs into the broth. As soon as they float to the surface and change color (the meat becomes lighter), reduce the heat and add homemade noodles to the soup. Cook the soup for another 5 minutes (this is enough for the noodles to be ready) and turn off the gas. This soup also needs to sit for 10-20 minutes, after which you can pour it into plates and garnish with herbs on top. Cream soup with meatballs As mentioned earlier, cream soup can be made even with meat ingredients. To do this, you will only need to separately prepare the soup base and meatballs. The cream soup includes the following components:
- minced meat (can be made from any meat) - 300 gr.,
- potatoes - 5-6 pieces,
- 2 onions,
- 1 egg,
- 2 carrots,
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil,
- 50 gr. butter,
- 200 gr. cream or milk,
- salt,
- pepper.
So, first we'll prepare the meatballs.To do this, as before, we mince the meat together with 1 onion and mix the mince, adding spices and salt. Put the medium-sized formed meatballs and olive oil into boiling water. Again, their readiness is determined by the changed color. After the meatballs float, fish them out with a slotted spoon. Do not pour out the broth, save it for making the soup. But before making the soup, peel the remaining vegetables, which we then grind in a blender. You can also add a few cloves of garlic here. But it will be better if you add it to the ready soup when serving. Pour a small amount of meat broth over the vegetables chopped in a blender and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. At the end, add the butter, and as soon as it has melted, pour the cream into the soup. Pour the hot soup into bowls, put 2-3 meatballs in each and put a crushed clove of garlic on top. It is better to serve the cream soup with croutons. For the greatest effect on children, try to give ordinary croutons an original look. To do this, you will need several pieces of white bread, which you can cut out in the shape of houses, flowers or even fairy-tale characters. Croutons must be soaked in an egg beaten with milk and fried in a preheated frying pan. Instead of croutons, you can also use pies. They are served not only with the soup, you can also immediately put them in a plate, which will allow you to decorate the dish when serving.
