Rice soup with meatballs
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Those who don't like this soup probably haven't tried it. For example, I always thought I couldn't stand tomato soups—I was served a tasteless soup made from boiled tomatoes at kindergarten. But it turns out that using tomato paste makes a completely different flavor! And meatballs are a special favorite of mine, so I'll tell you about them. The ready dish can be served at the table.
