And here is another simple but very tasty recipe. Soup with sauerkraut and meatballs has a more pronounced taste and aroma due to the introduction of a bright roast of vegetables and tomato sauce.
The following products are used in the recipe:
- Stuffing from any kind of meat. Minced chicken is good. But the tastiest thing will turn out if you use a combined semi-finished meat product. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, then we will make mince from pork and beef: one to one. The mass of the product is four hundred grams.
- Sauerkraut - two hundred and fifty grams.
- Five medium sized potato tubers.
- Carrots are one thing.
- Onions - one piece.
- Tomato - three large spoons.
- Raw chicken egg - one.
- Three to five cloves of garlic.
- Sugar is about a tablespoon.
- Laurel leaf - one or two pieces.
- Do not forget about salt, pepper and other spices.
We prepare all products. Wash and peel the potatoes. Peel the onion and garlic. Wash the carrots, peel them, wipe them with a coarse grater or cut them, as it will be more convenient.
Salt the minced meat, add crushed garlic and a little finely chopped onion. It is also necessary to introduce an egg into it and mix vigorously.
We proceed to the formation of meatballs. You need to roll them with your hands dipped in cold water so that the meat does not stick to your palms. Fifteen meatballs should come out of the stated amount of minced meat. Ready-made semi-finished products temporarily place on the dish.
We cut the potatoes into bars and send them to the pan, pouring cold water. We put a saucepan with future soup on the fire and expect boiling potatoes.
Now prepare the roast. To do this, put the carrots in a pan with vegetable oil. All the remaining onions go there. Fry the carrots until soft and add the tomato. After adding another three minutes, fry the vegetables and turn off the pan.
The potato in the water began to boil. Remove the foam and salt the soup. After ten minutes from boiling, put all the meatballs in the pan. From the beginning of boiling meatballs, we wait a couple of minutes and put all the cabbage into the soup. Stir it and simmer over low heat so that it does not boil violently when boiling. We try on salt, add a leaf of laurel. Five minutes later, add the frying to the soup and turn it off. Cover for just a minute. And now - a fragrant and beautiful soup is ready.
