Meatball Soup

 Ingredients: 1 liter of soup or water with a concentrate cube 1 onion 1 carrot 1 green pepper 1 celery stalk 1 bunch of lovage 1 bunch of parsley magic bors 250 g minced pork 1 egg 1 tablespoon of uncooked rice salt

To prepare a delicious meatball soup, the beginning is simple yet essential for achieving a refined taste. In a large pot, pour in the meat or vegetable broth, depending on your preferences. Place it over medium heat, allowing it to reach the boiling point. Meanwhile, to add flavor and texture, dice all available vegetables, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers. These vegetables will enrich the soup, giving it a unique flavor. Once the soup starts to boil, add the diced vegetables, letting them cook and release their aroma.

During the time the vegetables are boiling, we can prepare the meatballs, which are the star of this dish. In a bowl, mix ground pork or beef with a fresh egg, which will help bind the mixture. Add a tablespoon of rice, which will absorb some of the liquid from the soup and provide a pleasant consistency to the meatballs. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally, a few dried herbs, such as dill or basil, to enhance the flavor. With wet hands, form small balls from the meat mixture, which will be added to the soup.

When the vegetables are cooked and the soup is boiling, carefully add the meatballs, which will slowly sink into the hot liquid. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing everything to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. This time allows the meatballs to cook evenly and absorb the flavors from the soup.

After the time has elapsed, add magic borscht, an essential ingredient that will give the soup a tangy taste and a note of freshness. Also add fresh chopped lovage and parsley, which will not only enhance the dish's appearance but also bring an extra layer of flavor. Gently stir to combine all ingredients and let it simmer for a few more minutes for the flavors to intertwine.

Finally, the meatball soup is ready to be served, offering a comforting, tasty, and nutrient-rich dish, perfect for any meal.
