Soup with meatballs - useful tips and tricks
• Stuffing for meatballs turned out to be weak and spreads? You can add semolina to it, and then let it stand so that it swells. If there is no semolina, then you can also mix a little breadcrumbs that perfectly absorb excess moisture.
• If the meatballs are cooked a little, then one egg may be too many. As a result, the mass will be liquid. It is better to immediately separate half, and send the remainder to some other dish.
• Not only salt and pepper can be added to meatballs. They are good friends with herbs, paprika, garlic, hops, suneli.
• The bay leaf added to the soup must be removed from the pan after half an hour. Otherwise, the dish will be bitter and get an unpleasant aftertaste.
• To make the meatballs smooth and neat, minced meat must be well beaten on the table before forming. And when sculpting the balls, the hands are moistened with cold water.
• Salt the first dishes in the middle of cooking or at the very end, but this does not apply to soup with meatballs. It can be seasoned immediately after launching the meat balls into the broth. Salt will prevent meatballs from falling apart and help maintain shape.
