Diet Vegetable broth with Meatballs

Almost "mother's" soup, which is suitable for a healthy diet. Minimum fat, maximum protein and healthy fiber. It is also important that it is sufficient to replace refined foods with natural, unrefined ones, and there will be much less "ballast" calories in your diet. Brown rice is one of such natural products, since it has not undergone forced grinding and has retained everything that the shell of each grain rich in vitamins contains.

Ingredients

• brown rice - 600 g
• salt to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
• peeled onions - 200 g
• peeled carrots - 300 g
• green onions - 8 g
• dill - 16 g
• parsley - 16 g
• chicken fillet - 600 g
• egg - 1 pc.
• salt - 6 g

Directions

1. For the broth, pour the carrots and onions cut into strips with water (1.8 liters) and simmer for about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the stove, let it brew.
2. Pour rice into boiling salted water. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Skip chicken fillet without skin through a meat grinder. Separate the egg white from the egg yolk and add it to the minced meat, salt, beat well.
4. Separate a 20-25 g piece from the minced meat, roll it into a ball. Cook all other meatballs in the same way.
5. Boil the meatballs in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Then transfer with a slotted spoon to a quietly boiling vegetable broth, add (if you dare) a spoonful of olive oil and cook the meatballs. Add brown rice to the soup a minute before the meatballs are ready. Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs and remove the soup from the stove.
