Mushroom soup with meatballs. Mushroom soup with meatballs and quinoa Mushroom cream soup with meatballs

Quinoa is a relatively new addition to our family diet, but surprisingly it has taken root! If we talk about soups, then most of all they like and most often cook with it vegetable and mushroom ones.

I will show you a variant of soup made from dried forest mushrooms with minced meat meatballs. Chicken, beef and mixed pork and beef or pork and chicken are suitable as minced meat.

Prepare the ingredients according to the list for the recipe.

Rinse the dried mushrooms and soak in water for about one hour, or until they have softened and softened. I have assorted forest mushrooms dried in an electric dryer, so both they and the broth are relatively light. And if you have mushrooms dried in the oven, then they and the broth will be darker.

If the slices of mushrooms are large, then chop them into the desired size (straws or cubes).

It usually takes about an hour to boil mushroom broth. In the second half of cooking, i.e. after 30-40 minutes, you can add the remaining ingredients to it.

Send the quinoa first, after rinsing it. Lightly salt.

Then add the onion, cut into small cubes, into the mushroom soup.

Shape the minced meat into round pieces and throw them into the soup last. So they will not kill the valuable saturated mushroom broth, and having cooked in a matter of minutes, they will remain soft and tender. Don't forget to lightly salt the minced meat!

Try the ready-made quinoa mushroom soup and add salt to your taste.

My husband really likes this mushroom soup with meatballs and quinoa, or rather, he likes it much more than without meatballs. I hope you enjoy it too!

When serving, drop a little vegetable oil into the soup.

I cooked soup with dried mushrooms, they need to be washed under running water (if you cook with fresh mushrooms, then they need to be sorted out, cleaned, rinsed under running water and cut). Pour mushrooms (dried or fresh) with cold water and put on fire, cook for 35 minutes from the moment of boiling over low heat. If you cook with champignons, then they can be cooked for 15-20 minutes. The broth will be clear and rich.

Cut the peeled potatoes into medium sized cubes.

Put the potatoes and meatballs in a boiling mushroom broth and cook the soup over low heat for about 15 minutes.

Finely chop the peeled onion.

Grate peeled carrots on a fine grater.

Fry the onion and carrot until golden brown in a pan with the addition of vegetable oil, stirring occasionally.

Add fried vegetables, bay leaf, peppercorns to soup with mushrooms and meatballs, salt and cook for 5-7 minutes. Then remove the soup from the heat and let it brew, covered, for 15 minutes.

Serve a delicious, hearty, fragrant mushroom soup with meatballs to the table hot.

Bon appetit!

You can cook in different ways: with fresh, with dry forest, with "urban" champignons and oyster mushrooms. Today we have for lunch - soup with champignons from the supermarket.

How to cook mushroom soup with meatballs

1. 
   Pour the required amount of water into the saucepan. Send to the fire and boil. Meanwhile, wash potatoes, peel and cut into small cubes. Once the water in the pot boils, add the potatoes. Cook until half cooked. The potatoes should become softer.
2. 
   While the potatoes reach the desired condition, prepare the meatballs. Minced meat can be taken pork, pork and beef, chicken. It's up to you. Add grated hard cheese, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, salt and ground pepper to the minced meat. Mix all ingredients. Lifting the minced meat with your hand, beat it lightly several times on the kitchen board. So it will become more dense.
3. 
   From the meat mass, form small balls the size of a quail egg. Maybe a little more. If the stuffing sticks, dampen your hands a little with water (and always do!).
4. 
   Prepare the mushrooms. Rinse off dust. If desired, peel off the skin. Cut into small pieces, along with the legs. If you use forest mushrooms, they must first be boiled and only then used. Add prepared mushrooms to potatoes. First bring to a boil, and then cook for 10-15 minutes after boiling.
5. 
   Now prepare the carrots and onions. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, chop the onion finely. Fry in oil until light golden brown.
6. 
   After 10-15 minutes, when the mushrooms are already cooked, dip the meatballs into the soup. Stir gently and bring to a boil. Boil until all the meatballs float.
7. 
   As soon as the meatballs appear on the surface of the soup, add the sautéed vegetables. Salt and pepper. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and spices if needed. Cook after boiling for about 5-7 minutes.
8. 
   Sprinkle with chopped dill and turn off the heat after a minute. Cover and let the mushroom soup with meatballs brew for about ten minutes.

The first dish with mushrooms and meat balls will also appeal to those who want to lose weight - this soup is low in calories, but at the same time hearty and healthy, it is well suited as a recipe for diet food. The dish is prepared in just an hour, even less. To prepare an amount sufficient for 6 people, we need:

• 300-400 grams of minced meat,
• 2-3 small onions,
• 1 carrot
• 3-4 small potatoes
• 100-200 grams of any fresh or frozen mushrooms (or a handful of dried ones),
• 2.5-3 liters of water,
• 1.5 2 slices of white bread
• pepper, vegetable oil, herbs, salt and herbs - to taste.

Cooking

1. Meatballs: combine minced meat with bread soaked in milk, finely chopped onion (to taste), season as you like and mix thoroughly. We set aside.
2. Place a pot of water over medium heat.
3. We cut the potatoes into small pieces.
4. Finely chop the onion and carrot, lightly fry in vegetable oil.
5. Pour potatoes and fry into boiling water.
6. While the vegetables are cooking (20-15 minutes), we form small meatballs.
7. We put the meatballs in the soup.
8. We cut the mushrooms (soak dry ones for an hour), add to the soup.
9. When the minced meat balls begin to float, foam may appear - it must be carefully removed.
10. Season with salt, pepper, other spices, cook over low heat until tender.
11. Serve soup with herbs, season with sour cream, yogurt.

Before serving, it is recommended to let the dish brew a little under a closed lid, adding a little butter to it.

• Instead of potatoes, you can add cereals to the composition - barley, rice or millet. The cereal is laid after the meatballs, in this case the dish is cooked until the cereal is ready.
• If the meatballs are lightly fried before putting them into the pan, the taste will be more intense.
• For meatballs, you can use not only ground beef and pork, but also a mass of poultry or fish meat - this will help reduce the calorie content of the dish, increase its dietary quality.
• For a thicker broth, you can add a little fried flour or small vermicelli to the soup (it will make the broth especially tender in consistency).
• Some housewives prefer not to cut the onion, but to lay the whole peeled onions, along with the potatoes, in order to catch them later. In this case, the carrot is also laid raw, and the soup is more fragrant and light.
• You can add a raw egg and garlic to the minced meatball recipe - they will be even tastier.
