Soup with potato balls
Description
The soup is easy and quick to prepare. If you don't like cabbage in soups, feel free to replace it with other vegetables or pasta—the soup will not suffer at all; on the contrary, it will gain new flavors. Good luck! Serve the soup hot.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Please note that the potato balls will be made using only three ingredients: potatoes, semolina, and raw egg. I don't count salt, as it depends on personal preference. First, prepare a strong meat broth for the soup in advance. Wash the potatoes and boil them in their skins until done. Let them cool slightly so they remain warm.

Step 2
Season the meat broth to taste with salt and bring to a boil. Add pieces of cabbage and finely chopped onion. Cook for 15 minutes. The photo shows vegetable oil, which you can add at the end of cooking, use to sauté the onion, or omit entirely. That's exactly what I did to make the soup less caloric.

Step 5
It's better to mix with a fork, mashing the potatoes. Mix until the mixture becomes uniform and starts clumping together.

Step 6
With slightly moist hands, take a teaspoon of the potato mixture and roll into small balls. The size of each ball should be about that of a walnut or a cherry.

Drop the dumplings and greens into the boiling soup. As soon as the dumplings float to the surface, immediately turn off the heat.
