This silky, creamy soup is pure comfort in a bowl, with tender beef meatballs, soft potatoes, and fresh herbs. It comes together quickly from simple ingredients for a cozy dinner any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 3-4 potatoes
- Olive oil
- 200 g (7 oz) processed cheese
- Fresh herbs
- Salt and spices, to taste
- For the meatballs: 350 g (12 oz) ground beef
- 1 egg
- Salt and spices, to taste
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
- For the meatballs: blitz the onion and garlic in a blender. Add to the beef with spices and egg, knead well, and slap the mixture down a few times. Shape meatballs with wet hands.
- Saute diced onion in oil, add grated carrot, then diced potatoes; cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Add the meatballs; when they float, skim the foam. Stir in the processed cheese, season, and cook 10 minutes more. Serve with herbs.
Tips
- Shape the meatballs with wet hands so they stay smooth and round.
- Skim the foam well for a clear, silky broth.
- Stir the processed cheese in off the boil so it melts evenly without splitting.
