Meatball soup is one of the most appreciated dishes in Romanian cuisine.
\nSimilar dishes can also be found in the international cuisine. In Italy, for
\ninstance, there are beef meatballs soups with lots of vegetables, just like in
\nthe Mexican cuisine. The Turkish cuisine offers a soup with minced beef or
\nlamb. In all these recipes, the minced meat shaped like a meatball or a flat meatloaf is roasted a little bit before being added to the broth. However, in the
\nRomanian recipe, the meatballs are put straight to the boil. A distinction should
\nalso be made between the sour meatball soup, with fermented wheat bran brew
\nused as a souring agent, and the thick meatball soup, for which tomatoes and sour
\ngrapes can be used, as well as lemon juice.<\/p>\n

For the meatball soup, we need around 700 grams of minced beef, one
\npiece of boned beef shin, two carrots, one parsnip and one parsley root, one
\ncelery, a cup of rice, one onion, two eggs, tomato juice, fermented wheat bran
\nbrew, one bunch of parsley and another one of dill. <\/p>\n

Put the beef shin to the boil in around 4 liters of water. Skim, then add
\nthe grated root vegetables. Add bell peppers and tomatoes, finely-chopped. When
\nboiled, take out the meat shin and cut it into small pieces, then put it back
\nin boiling broth. Finely-chop the onion,
\nthen mix it with the minced meat, the two eggs, the finely-chopped dill and the
\nrice. Add a little bit of salt. After 20 minutes, mould little balls of meat,
\ntraditionally known as perisoare, then put them in the boiling soup. Add the
\ntomato juice and the fermented wheat bran brew, and then boil for another five minutes.
\nRemove the pot from the heat and add the finely-chopped parsley leaves. Simmer
\nfor around ten minutes. Serve the broth in large bowls with a little bit of sour cream as
\ngarnish. Keep in mind that it goes
\nbest with a red pepper. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
