Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
How to cook soup with minced chicken meatballs? Prepare everything you need. Peel the vegetables — onions, potatoes and carrots and rinse them from dirt in running water. Rice is best taken steamed, long-grain. It does not boil when cooking. For minced meat, I use chicken fillet, you can make it from any part of the chicken or take it ready.
Step 2:
Pour rice into boiling water and boil for 7-10 minutes over low heat, until soft. The cooking time depends on the type of rice, so use the instructions on the package. Put the finished rice in a colander and rinse a little with cold water. For minced meat, pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder.
Step 3:
In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken and boiled rice. Add the egg, a little salt and spices. As a spice, I use a couple of pinches of ground pepper and dried dill. Mix the whole mass well until smooth.
Step 4:
Pour the soup water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Form small meatballs with your hands and dip them into boiling water. Why in boiling water? In boiling water, meatballs are "sealed" from all sides, harden and will not fall apart when cooking. Bring everything back to a boil. At the same time, foam will appear, which must be removed with a slotted spoon or a spoon with holes.
Step 5:
Cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces and send them to the meatballs in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, make the fire a little less and leave to cook.
Step 6:
While everything is cooking, do vegetable frying. How to make a roast? To do this, finely chop the onion and rub the carrots on a fine grater. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and put the chopped vegetables. Fry them, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes over medium heat.
Step 7:
Add the finished roast to the soup and stir. To taste, add a little salt to the soup. You can add a bay leaf. Boil the soup for another 15 minutes and remove from the heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let the soup brew a little (15 minutes).
Step 8:
Serve the soup with meatballs hot. Bon appetit!

Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
