Step by step preparation of carbohydrate-free cabbage soup with meatballs, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the meat, cut off the veins with a film and twist it through a meat grinder. Season the minced meat with salt and ground pepper and mix well with your hands, passing the minced meat between your fingers. Then beat it off, lift it up and throw it back into the plate.
2. Wash the white cabbage, pat dry with a towel and chop into thin strips.
3. Form the minced meat into small cherry-sized meatballs, but you can make the meatballs larger, like a walnut.
4. Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Dip the cabbage, bay leaf, peppercorns and boil.
5. Immediately dip the meatballs into the pan. I draw your attention to the fact that meatballs are dipped exclusively in boiling water. Putting them in cold water makes the meatballs rubbery.
6. Boil the broth and turn the temperature on.
7. Pour the tomato paste into a saucepan.
8. Next, place the finely chopped dill.
9. Season the soup with salt and pepper and cook until the cabbage is done, about 10-15 minutes. Serve the soup after cooking with black bread or croutons.
