Buckwheat soup with meatballs: cook every day

Elderly people say: "Once a day, the soup should be in the stomach." Nutritionists also agree that you need to eat liquid food every day, and in the conditions of autumn and winter, also hot. In this case, soups are the best option. We offer you to cook a simple but delicious buckwheat soup with meatballs.

Light Meatball Soup Recipe

Most often, in the preparation of liquid dishes, we are faced with the problem of lack of time. Most products take a long time to process and prepare. Buckwheat soup is a completely different matter: it cooks so quickly that you can cook it even in the morning for breakfast.

You will need the following ingredients:

• 100 g of onions;
• 100 g carrots;
• 50 g celery (1 stem);
• 300 g potatoes;
• 50 g buckwheat;
• 250 g minced chicken;
• 1 egg;
• 20 g semolina;
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil;
• 20 g butter;
• 1.5 liters of water;
• salt, pepper, spices, fresh herbs - to taste.

Let's start cooking.

1. First, knead the minced meatballs. Combine minced meat, semolina, egg, some salt and pepper or seasoning. Put it in the refrigerator for now so that the minced meat is "ripe" (the semolina should swell in it).

2. Prepare peeled vegetables: chop celery and onions, grate carrots. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and melt the butter there. Send onions and carrots there, simmer a little over low heat. Add celery at the last moment.

   

   Put vegetables in butter in a saucepan

3. Cut potatoes into small pieces, transfer to a saucepan with onions and carrots. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring all the time. Pour in water, wait for a boil and add buckwheat.

   

   Put potatoes and a little later - buckwheat

4. While the soup is cooking, remove the minced meat from the refrigerator and mold it into balls the size of a quail's egg. Put them in boiling soup.

5. Wait for the soup to boil and cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and season to taste. Remove the pan from the heat and leave it on for another 10 minutes, with the lid on, to steep.

   

   After cooking, the soup needs to be infused a little more.

It remains only to pour the soup into bowls, add fresh herbs and serve.

You can make this soup even richer. For example, I do not stew vegetables, but pre-fry them in a pan. First - onions in vegetable oil until golden brown, then - a piece of butter and carrots until soft. Sometimes I add a little water or broth so that the carrots do not dry out and the onions do not have time to fry too much. I literally take the carcass for 5 minutes, after which I send it to the soup, where potatoes with buckwheat have already been cooked. By the way, the meatballs can also be fried to a light crust before putting them in the soup pot. Of course, this takes more time (about 10-15 minutes), but this is not critical if you coordinate all actions.

Features of cooking buckwheat soup with meatballs for a child

Buckwheat and chicken meat are useful for young children, they can be given these products from one year old. You can give the soup prepared according to the recipe above to the child, but with minor amendments.

1. Cook the meatballs for a little longer to soften.
2. Grind the finished soup (after taking out the meatballs) in a blender to achieve the consistency of a liquid puree.
3. Many mothers recommend grinding the soup with a potato grinder. So some of the vegetables will remain in the form of pieces that the child can chew on their own.

After all these manipulations, return the meatballs to the soup, cool it and feed the baby with pleasure.

Remember to cool the soup before feeding your baby.
