Step-by-step preparation of dietary soup with meatballs, recipe with photo:
1. To cook meatballs, you can use ready-made minced meat bought in a store. However, the soup made from such meatballs may not be entirely dietary, and sometimes even unhealthy. To make the dietary soup truly dietary, purchase fresh meat. This can be lean pork or beef tenderloin, chicken breast fillet, lean turkey fillet, etc. Use a meat grinder, food processor or blender to grind it to get minced meat. Add spices, salt, pepper, etc. to the finished minced meat.
2. Then beat the minced meat several times to release the gluten, which will keep the shape of the meatballs well, and they will not fall apart during cooking. To do this, take the minced meat in your hands and forcefully throw it back onto the board. Do this 5-7 times.
3. Form into medium-sized round meatballs.
4. Wash the cauliflower, cut into florets and send to the pan. Peel the carrots, wash, cut into slices and place next to the cabbage. Pour the food with drinking water and place the pot on the stove.
Diet soup with meatballs will be prepared on the basis of vegetable broth. Cabbage is rich in fiber, therefore it will saturate the body well and drown out the feeling of hunger.
5. Add the dry ground vegetable mixture to the saucepan.
6. Bring vegetables to a boil and place meatballs in a saucepan. I draw your attention to the fact that they should be dipped exclusively in boiling water, otherwise the meat will become tough.
7. Then add dried garlic and green onions to the soup.
8. Boil the soup after boiling again for 10 minutes and add the tomato adjika paste.
9. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, season the soup with salt and black pepper, add bay leaves and allspice peas. Wash the tomatoes, cut into slices and also send them to the soup.
10. Boil dietary meatball soup and add chopped herbs 1-2 minutes before cooking.
