Description
A classic and traditional Romanian soup with meatballs simmered in a flavorful vegetable broth, and some fresh herbs in the end like parsley or dill. It is served with a raw spicy pepper, crusty bread, and a few tablespoons of sour cream over the soup. In Romanian, it’s originally called “Supa cu Perisoare”.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the Meatballs:
- 1 ½ cups of Raw Meat
- 1 Raw Egg
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Ingredients for the Soup:
- ½ cup of Chopped Onions
- 1 cup of chopped root celery
- 1 cup of chopped carrots
- ¼ cup of parsley root.
- 1 cup of chopped tomatoes.
- 10oz. of Diced Potatoes
- ⅓ cup of Bell pepper
- 10 cups of water.
- Optionally at the end: Raw chili pepper, sour cream, and chopped parsley.
Instructions
Traditionally, the soup is served with sour cream, chili pepper, and finely chopped greens such as parsley, but you can use a mix of dill, parsley, and green onions.
If you are not a fan of sour cream in soups, you can replace it with yogurt, or exclude it altogether.
Notes
1. Keep in mind that when the meatballs will boil, they will reduce their size a little.
2. Throughout the cooking of the soup, the water must boil gently, to get a clear soup. Otherwise, it will be cloudy and it will not look so good.
