How to cook rice soup with meatballs:

    Rinse vegetables and chop. Carrots can be cut into slices and potatoes into small cubes.

    Also rinse the rice in cold water.

    Place a saucepan with 2 liters of water on the fire and wait until it boils. Add potatoes there and cook for 5-10 minutes over low heat.

    Place the carrots in a saucepan and cook for another 5 minutes. As for rice, it will cook faster than carrots. Therefore, it is best to put it last. After adding the rice, slide the lid a little to prevent the soup from running out.

    If using a piece of meat, rotate it in a meat grinder along with the peeled onions. The task is greatly simplified if you bought ready-made minced meat... Only it shouldn't be watery. If you made minced meat yourself, mash it with a fork, and then with your hands. It should stick well. This ensures that the meatballs in the soup don't fall apart.

    Shape the minced meat into small balls. You can stick them as much as you want. Dip the meatballs into the soup and reduce the heat slightly. Remove the resulting foam from the surface and cook until tender. Wait until the meatballs come up.

    Add chopped herbs and after 3-4 minutes remove the pan from the stove.

    Shortly before cooking, put a little butter or vegetable oil in the soup so that the broth is nourishing.

You can make rice soup with meatballs and egg dressing, but no potatoes.

Cooking tips

  • if you have boiled rice, which you have not used anywhere, you can put it in the soup, just do it at the very end, 2-3 minutes before cooking.
  • In case you have a large egg and when mixed with minced chicken the total mass turned out to be liquid, do not worry, everything can be fixed. Add 1 tablespoon each white wheat flour and semolina, mix and let the mixture stand for a while so that the semolina swells. The minced meat will become denser and the meatballs will hold their shape well.

Ground meat. I always say and I will not tire of repeating - do not buy ready-made minced meat, take a piece of meat and twist it yourself. Of course, I absolutely do not want to mess with some three hundred grams of meat, so ... think, along with the soup for lunch, cutlets and buy immediately for both, as I always do. To be more precise, when I take meat for cutlets, I always make soup with meatballs. Or another option: again, take more, mix everything and simply freeze the excess.

I always take two varieties of minced meat: pork and beef. More often than the first, more.

Clear onion... I take a large onion and 2 cloves of garlic for 700 grams of minced meat. For 300 grams - about 50 grams of onion and 1 clove of garlic. I don't add any loaves (specifically to the meatballs) - I like it when the meatballs consist simply of seasoned minced meat.
If you want minced meat more tenderly, turn it through a meat grinder not once, but twice. If you want it to become completely soft, then add a loaf soaked in milk or water (soak 1 piece in the specified 40 grams of milk or water) or 1 tablespoon of ground crackers.

Pass the meat together with onions and garlic through a meat grinder, add salt, black pepper and seasonings. I have a mixture of basil, marjoram, oregano and thyme - I love everything natural, I don’t use any powders and vegetation.


So, mix everything well and, preferably, beat off our minced meat a little - for more uniformity. The amount of all ingredients is given for 300 grams of meat. If you did more, separate and mix everything with the indicated ingredients: 40-50 grams of milk or water, onion, garlic, a teaspoon of dried herbs, salt, black pepper, if desired, soak a piece of loaf in milk or water, or add a tablespoon of crackers.

Form small meatballs with wet hands.


Rinse the rice thoroughly.
Pour water or broth into a saucepan (I have 50/50) and put on fire, add rice and cook after boiling for about 10 minutes, until half cooked.

In the meantime, the water boils and the rice is cooked, it's time to prepare our vegetables.
Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Next, wash and cut the leeks into half rings (you can replace them with regular onions), peel them and grate them or cut the carrots into small cubes. In general, according to technology, if you have already started to cut something into cubes or straws, then you must continue in the same spirit. But, fortunately, this does not affect the taste in any way and, if it is convenient for you to grate the carrots on a grater, and not cut, then rub it for yourself, we will not think about the standards.

Melt the butter in a skillet and add the carrots and leeks. Fry over medium heat for about two to three minutes.
Of course, butter is completely replaced by vegetable or olive oil.


After boiling the rice for 10 minutes, add the potatoes and vegetables from the pan to the pan. Let the water boil and toss in the meatballs. Now you can salt everything, add bay leaves, allspice and cook for about 10 more minutes until the meatballs, rice and vegetables are cooked. Cover and reduce heat to low.

By the way, if I make this soup in vegetable season, then I definitely add a rather finely grated zucchini. In this case, I reduce the amount of rice to 60 grams, and the soup is more vegetable and lighter. You can also add some grated pumpkin. This soup also loves tomatoes, which it is advisable to skin in the case of cutting into cubes. You don't have to make unnecessary gestures, but just punch the tomatoes in a blender. In any case, it is better to fry them a little together with carrots and onions.


Peel the remaining clove of garlic and pass through a press. Alternatively, simply crush it with the flat side of the knife blade and chop it up. We also need fresh or freshly frozen herbs, in my case - parsley and dill frozen since summer.
