Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside on a plate.
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
- While the water is heating up, peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- Dice the red pepper.
- Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnishing.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the meatballs to the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let the meatballs simmer for about 10 minutes.
- After the meatballs have cooked for 10 minutes, add the diced potatoes to the pot. Allow them to cook for 5 minutes.
- In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced carrots and diced red pepper to the skillet, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the meatballs and potatoes.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of white pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of Russian potato soup with savory meatballs!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Select the freshest vegetables and highest quality ground beef to ensure the best flavor and texture in your soup.
- Season generously: Don't skimp on the seasoning for the meatballs. A well-seasoned meatball will enhance the overall flavor of the soup.
- Cook meatballs thoroughly: Ensure that the meatballs are cooked all the way through. They should be browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center.
- Cut vegetables uniformly: Chop the potatoes, onions, carrots, and red peppers into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Adjust consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can lightly mash some of the potatoes once they are cooked to release their starch into the broth.
- Add herbs last: Add the fresh parsley at the end of cooking to retain its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
- Serve with bread: Serve the soup with crusty bread on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
Your Russian Potato Soup with Savory Meatballs is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor. This soup is a wonderful balance of hearty meatballs and tender vegetables, making it a perfect meal for any occasion. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors with your loved ones.
