Potato soup with meatballs is a cozy dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of meatballs and the rich flavor of vegetable broth. Its roots go back to home traditions where simple ingredients turn into a warming and hearty meal. Meatballs made with breadcrumbs gain softness, while potatoes and carrots create a thick and aromatic base. Light notes of bay leaf enhance the flavor, making it deeper. This soup is perfect for family meals, especially in cooler seasons when you want to warm up and enjoy home comfort.
