Mom's Meatball Soup
- Sautée grated carrots and diced onions with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Sautée until the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes) and set them aside.
- Place a cooking pot with 4 quarts of water on high heat. Add potatoes, rice and sauteed ingredients to the pot. Bring it to a boil and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
- Once it's boiling, one by one, add meatballs into the water. Make sure that the water is boiling at all times, otherwise the meatballs will fall apart. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes.
- Add green onions and parsley to the meatball soup. Let it all cook for another 15 minutes. Serve soup right away or reheat before serving.
