Meatball soup with cauliflower
3 servings
20 minutes
Meatball soup with cauliflower is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines the softness of meatballs and the freshness of vegetables. It may have been inspired by traditional European soups, but this version is unique with its own notes. The combination of ground beef, leeks, and spices gives the soup depth of flavor, while cauliflower adds lightness and health benefits. Quail eggs make the meatballs tender, and a pinch of chili pepper adds a slight spiciness. It is perfect for cozy family lunches or light dinners. The soup pairs well with fresh bread or greens, and its rich, warming taste makes it an excellent choice in cooler weather. The simplicity of preparation and rich flavor make this recipe worth trying!
