TOMATO SOUP RECIPE WITH MEATBALLS

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground pork or beef (or mix);
1/2 cup white rice;
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil;
500 ml. passata (ground tomatoes);
2 cloves garlic, chopped;
1 small onion, chopped;
2 carrots, peeled and diced;
2 stalks of celery, chopped;
1 cup mushrooms, quartered;
1 teaspoon dried basil;
sea salt to taste;
1/4 cup all-purpose flour;
6 cups of water.

Recipe: This is a very simple and delicious recipe. It can be prepared for only 15 minutes, and the cooking time is 30 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan and saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes more. Pour the passata and stir well. Let it cook for 2 minutes, and add the water. Bring to a boil. In the meantime, wash and drain the rice. Combine the rice, ground meat and basil together, and mix well. Form meatballs with the mixture, the size of a walnut. Roll each meatball in the flour and drop them one-by-one in the boiling tomato soup. Add about 2 flat teaspoons of sea salt, or according to taste. Reduce the heat and cook the tomato soup covered for about 20-25 minutes more.
