    Add salt to taste to the minced meat, garlic, previously passed through a press, a pinch of ground red and black pepper.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Bring the broth to a boil. Chicken broth was used in the recipe, but you can also take vegetable broth or ordinary water. Put the potatoes and meatballs in a saucepan, add salt to taste and after re-boiling, reduce the flame to moderate and cook under a closed lid until all the components are ready. It will take about 15-20 minutes.

    Step 8.

    Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Send the chopped vegetables to fry. Stirring, cook to the desired degree of roasting. I usually just lightly pass the vegetables until the onion is transparent.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Done! When serving, offer ground allspice and sour cream to the soup.

The egg for soup can be pre-boiled and cut into small cubes. In this case, an egg should be added to the finished soup at the end of cooking.
My family likes airy egg flakes in the soup more, so more often I pour the egg raw into the soup.

From the specified number of ingredients, a medium-thick soup is obtained. 


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 glass per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 glasses - 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".
