I made the minced meat myself, using two types of meat: pork and beef in equal proportions. Cut the meat into small pieces and grind it using a meat grinder. Add spices to taste and a few spoons of semolina to the prepared minced meat, thanks to which the meatballs will keep their round shape and will not boil over during cooking. To stir thoroughly.
Roll the minced meat into medium-sized meat balls.
Place meatballs in a pan filled with water. Cook over medium heat until it boils, then use a sieve or slotted spoon to skim off any foam that has formed.
Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. Add it to the boiling soup. Season with spices to taste and add a bay leaf. Continue cooking over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Peel the carrots and onions and wash them in running water. Grind the carrots on a coarse grater and the onion into small cubes. Place vegetables in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry the vegetables until golden brown for 5-7 minutes, do not forget to stir them constantly. After this, add the carrots and onions to the pan with the soup and cook for another 15 minutes over moderate heat.
The last ingredient you need to add to the soup is vermicelli (mine is made from durum wheat, so it took longer to cook than usual). Boil for 5-7 minutes, turn off the soup and let it brew for a few more minutes.
Pour the finished soup with meatballs and noodles into bowls, add finely chopped fresh dill and you can serve the aromatic first course to the table! Vermicelli in the recipe can be replaced with rice and it will work out
What to do if there is some minced meat left? That's right - cook a delicious soup with meatballs and noodles.

How to cook soup with meatballs and vermicelli
There are not too many ways to prepare soup with meatballs. They are made from different types of meat - chicken, beef, pork. A combination of a couple of species is considered more successful.

Classic soup recipe with ground beef meatballs, noodles and potatoes
This recipe includes simple ingredients. This dish is perfect for children of any age, as beef helps increase hemoglobin levels in the blood and promotes muscle growth.
The secret to tasty and juicy meatballs is adding chopped onions to them, making them denser and not overcooked.
Also for this purpose, a chicken egg and sometimes semolina are added to the minced meat. For this recipe, you can prepare minced meat yourself or purchase it at the store. The main condition is the freshness of the product. Vermicelli is taken thin and short, like a “spider web”.
First we form the meatballs. For this we need minced beef or veal. You can buy it ready-made or twist it yourself, but be sure to add half an onion to any version. Pepper and salt should be added depending on individual preferences. To prevent the meatballs from falling apart, add an egg to the meat. Mix everything thoroughly and roll into balls, which can be placed in the freezer for a short time. This way they will boil less.
Next, prepare the frying. Chop onions and carrots in any convenient way. Pour the chopped ingredients into a preheated frying pan and fry them in sunflower oil for a few minutes. There is no need to fry the onions and carrots too much; half-cooking is enough. Set the pan aside.
At the moment when the onions and carrots are being prepared, you can cut the pre-washed and peeled potatoes into small pieces.
Fill the potatoes with cool water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Once white foam appears, it should be removed. We add meatballs and sauteed onions with carrots, as well as a bay leaf. Reduce the heat a little and add salt.
Cook until the potatoes are ready. At the very end, add vermicelli and cook the soup for another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs. Ready!
Meatball soup recipe without potatoes
This method of preparing a hot first course is non-standard. Adding potatoes to many soups is a mandatory step. But for various reasons this ingredient may not be desirable. But this does not mean at all that you cannot prepare a tasty and healthy soup without potatoes. Instead of potatoes, add lentils to the soup.
For this recipe, it is best to choose red grains, as they cook much faster than other types.
Tasty and healthy, lentils are still quite high in calories, so the soup will be satisfying. For this dish, it is better to choose minced chicken, as it goes better with cereal, but any other meat will also be tasty. This soup cooks a little faster because you don't have to spend time preparing the potatoes.
First you need to cook the meatballs. To do this, pass the chicken fillet or meat together with half an onion through a meat grinder and add 1 egg. To store-bought minced meat, simply add onion chopped in a meat grinder or grater. Salt and pepper the finished mixture to taste. Then we prepare balls from the minced meat.
Pour 3 liters of water into the pan and add the washed lentils. Place on medium heat and cook for 15 minutes. At this time, carrots and onions are peeled. This recipe does not require frying. After chopping the onions and carrots, add them to the pan with the lentils.
After the cereal with carrots and onions have been cooked for 15 minutes, add the meatballs to the pan and cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes. At the end of cooking, add salt to taste. We also finely chop the greens and add them to the pot of soup at the very end of cooking.
You can pour the greens directly into plates with the finished soup.
Soup option with chicken meatballs and vermicelli
This soup option is ideal as a lunch for small children and those on a diet. Every child will love this light soup with tender chicken meatballs and thin noodles. In order to add piquancy to a hot dish, you can fry the finished meatballs in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Chicken can be replaced with turkey if desired. This will not change the taste significantly. Since chicken cooks very quickly, the cooking process itself does not take much time. To prevent chicken meatballs from losing their shape during cooking, you need to keep them in the freezer for a while. For this soup, it is best to choose dill as a herb.
Grind the fillet and chopped onion in a meat grinder or food processor. Pour the egg into the ingredients and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. After forming small meat balls, put them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Add some salt to the boiling water and add the meatballs.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces. Chop the carrots.
After the meatballs have floated to the surface, you need to add potatoes and a whole onion to the pan. And after 10 minutes, add chopped carrots.
After 5 minutes, you can remove the whole onion from the broth. Add vermicelli and cook for another 3 minutes. Once the pan is removed from the heat, you can add the chopped dill. The delicious soup is ready.

Baked meatballs give noodle soup a special taste. The process of preparing a fragrant hot dish according to this recipe will take a little longer. This is due to the fact that the meatballs need to be baked in the oven for a certain time.
For this cooking method, it is best to choose mixed minced meat consisting of pork and beef.
In addition, grated cheese is added to the minced meat and breadcrumbs are used. These ingredients will give the dish originality and piquant taste. It should be remembered that the best choice is thin vermicelli made from durum wheat. Otherwise, the cooking process is not much different from a standard dish.
The first step of the recipe is to prepare the baked meatballs. Preheat the oven (oven) to 180°C. Add breadcrumbs and finely grated cheese to the minced meat. Salt and pepper are added depending on individual preferences. Roll the meat balls and place on a baking sheet. The cooking process will take 30 minutes. The meatballs should turn golden brown.

Add salt, beat in eggs and ground black pepper, mix the mixture well.

If you are preparing the soup in advance, we recommend boiling the vermicelli separately so that it does not swell and remains tasty. In this case, it will need to be added to the soup before serving.

Tips and tricks for making noodle and meatball soup from grandma
While this applies to all meals in general, get into the habit of preparing all your ingredients and utensils ahead of time and laying them out on your work surface. This way the cooking process will be much less fuss and will take much less time. Cooking should be fun!
Prepare your own minced meatballs. It is very difficult to control the quality of minced meat that will be sold to you in the store. Better take a good piece of meat and grind it yourself. It’s better to have a few meatballs, but they will be tasty and of high quality.
To make the meatballs more tender, add bread crumbs soaked in milk, butter and pre-beaten eggs to the minced meat. Onions also help with this, as they contain acid, which softens the structure of the meat and makes it more tender.
Before serving, the soup must be tightly closed with a lid, wrapped in a thick towel and allowed to stand for a longer time. This will allow all components of the dish to be saturated with aroma and acquire an unforgettable taste.
If you like legumes, add them when cooking the soup. Beans, corn, peas. Or, for example, green beans. Even chickpeas. They will add an interesting taste to the soup, fill you with vegetable protein (which is sometimes even more necessary than animal protein) and significantly increase the satiety of the soup. Try it!
If you use new potatoes, you don't need to peel them. As you know, most vitamins accumulate right under the skin, so it’s better to cook it right in its skin. It's no less delicious.
Instead of noodles, you can use Italian pasta, or even better, make your own homemade noodles. You just need to knead a thick dough from water, flour and salt and leave for half an hour. Then roll out the dough thinly, sprinkle generously with flour and roll loosely so that the layers do not stick together. Thinly slice the roll and unroll the noodles. Before cooking, it is better to spread it in a thin layer over the work surface and dry it. This will take about an hour or two. But the soup will turn out simply incomparable.
Don't be afraid to experiment with spices and seasonings. For example, suneli hops, cumin and coriander will give it a pleasant oriental taste. And rosemary, oregano and thyme will give you a fragrant Italian aroma. Or maybe you want a Mexican touch? Then add red pepper, paprika and a few mustard seeds. Fragrant...
Now let's talk about the tricks of making this soup.
Trick 1
If you are in a hurry, you can carefully layer all the ingredients into boiling water at once. The meatballs need to be placed first so that they do not become deformed and so that all subsequent ingredients are saturated with their juice. Then, fry the potatoes and only noodles on top. Cover the soup tightly with a lid and cook for 20-30 minutes over very low heat. If you do not open the lid all this time, your kitchen will be filled with a strong, pleasant aroma of the finished soup. You just need to mix the ingredients and serve immediately.
Trick 2
Don't like noodles? It's not scary at all! Instead of noodles, you can add rice, buckwheat or pearl barley, and indeed any other cereal, to the soup. This is even better, as the soup will contain more vitamins and the taste will be more unusual. Just remember that noodles take 5 minutes to cook, and grains at least 20. So add them at the beginning of cooking, for example, along with potatoes.
Trick 3
If you want to achieve a golden broth, add a pinch of turmeric and a few pieces of pumpkin to the soup. You definitely won’t forget such a rich color and aroma!
Trick 4
Boil the vermicelli separately and add it to the prepared soup. This will help maintain its elasticity and the soup will turn out much tastier.
Trick 5
If you have vegetarian friends, you can even surprise them with an invitation to meatball soup. Instead of minced meat, meatballs can be made from mushrooms or beans. The protein, the shape, and the deliciousness are a fairy tale. You can also make meatballs from Adyghe cheese. This is very unusual, but believe me, very tasty. Adyghe cheese does not melt and therefore easily holds its shape.
