Soup with meatballs and canned beans

Simple, low-fat, but hearty soup made from simple ingredients. I really like such simple soups without frying, vegetable oil and excess fat. Although, if desired, carrots can be fried in a frying pan. And if desired, you can add finely chopped onions. Minced meat for meatballs is suitable for anyone, but I like lean beef most of all. Due to this, the calorie content of the dish is greatly reduced.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To make soup with meatballs and canned beans, we will need: water or ready-made broth (I have beef), canned beans in their own juice, potatoes, carrot, dill and bay leaf.
Step 2:
Put the canned beans in a colander and let the liquid drain. You can rinse with water to remove the remnants of viscous juice from the beans.
Step 3:
Peel potatoes and cut into medium cubes.
Step 4:
Put potatoes, bay leaf in a saucepan, pour water or broth. Put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes.
Step 5:
Meanwhile, peel and grate the carrots on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 6:
Wash, dry and finely chop the dill.
Step 7:
Meatballs. To prepare meatballs, we will need: ground beef (I have lean beef, but you can also mix it or chicken), ground black pepper and salt.
Step 8:
Add salt and pepper to the minced meat and knead until smooth.
Step 9:
Form from minced meat small identical meatballs slightly smaller than a walnut.
Step 10:
Add grated carrots and meatballs to the boiling broth. Stirring, cook the soup for about 10 more minutes, periodically removing the foam.
Step 11:
Put canned beans and dill in the soup. Bring to a boil again and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Step 12:
Let the soup brew for 5 minutes and pour on plates. Enjoy your meal!

To make the soup even more satisfying, you can add some cereals to it, for example, rice, or small pasta like stars. It will turn out very tasty.

Soup with meatballs is a favorite first course of many people. He is very much loved by both adults and children. And very reminiscent of the taste of childhood. For example, my mother constantly cooked it as a child, and even now she sometimes cooks it. Only minced meat uses not store-bought, but homemade, from beef pulp. By the way, the cooking process can be accelerated if the meatballs are prepared in advance and then frozen.
