Cabbage soup with meatballs
Description
This is a fairly classic cabbage soup recipe with meatballs, which can be supplemented with tomatoes and other vegetables to taste, if desired. You can skip sautéing the carrots and onions and add them directly to the pot—this will reduce the dish's calorie content. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
