Thanks for a great discussion! I posted this one some time ago. It's very
different than some of the others here. (I've learned long since to copy out
the place where I got the recipe.)

Apart from some cold soups, I eat most of them in any season and any
kind of weather. Here are some suggestions, in no particular order, all
of them truly and utterly wonderful, and for the most part not at all
hard to prepa

- Gulyás (a spicy Hungarian beef soup)

- Pappa col pomodoro (Tuscan thick bread-and-tomato soup)

- Kimchi guk or jjiggae (a spicy Korean kimchi soup, respectively
lighter and heavier versions)

- Yukgaejang (a spicy Korean beef soup)

- Rassolnik (Russian soup made with either kidney or poultry giblets,
and sour pickles with their juice)

- Mushroom and barley soup, made with dried ceps/porcini and with no
meat

- Borscht

- Kololik (Armenian stuffed-meatball soup)

- Kharcho (Georgian meat soup)

Bean soup, cathy! If you use pinto beans, you won't need meat. I
also like the multi bean mixes.

My meatball methods aren't really written down either. Ground beef, bread
crumbs, salt, pepper, some garlic or onion powder. Use a beaten egg as a
binder. Hard to make a bad meatball :-)

Sounds similar to mine. I use oats instead of bread crumbs and add
savoury, mustard powder, nutmeg and some maggi.

A couple of our personal favorites:

Oats instead of bread crumbs? Thats something I might have to try.
However, I do mix up the spices to whatever I feel like when making them.
I like just about everything spicey, so using finely chopped jalapenos or
other fresh peppers makes a nice addition too.

Whicih of course reminded me of Albondigas!
http://www.elise.com/recipes/archive...digas_soup.php

My exDIL prepared it without the extra green vegetables (but they look
like a good addition to me) and used cilantro instead of the
mint/parsley mixture.... but the basics of this recipe are the same.

Albondigas Soup Recipe
Preparation time: 1 hour.

This Spanish meatball soup was a family favorite growing up. Not an
appetizer, always a main course, either for lunch or dinner.
"Albondigas" means "meatballs" in Spanish, and the trick to perfect
albondigas soup is to put chopped mint leaves into the meatballs. The
mint is what gives an albondigas soup meatball its unique flavor.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup of tomato sauce
3 quarts of chicken stock or beef stock OR water OR a mixture of both
(we usually use half stock half water as the meatballs will create
their own stock)

2 large carrots, sliced
1/2 lb of string beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup of raw white rice
1 raw egg
1/2 cup of chopped fresh mint leaves and/or parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/1/2 cup of frozen or fresh peas
Dried oregano, crumbled
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and
minced garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomato
sauce and broth mixture. Bring to boil and simmer. Add carrots and
string beans.

Prepare meatballs. Mix rice into meat, adding mint land parsley
leaves, salt and pepper. Add raw egg. Form beef into 1-inch meatballs.
Return soup to gentle simmer. Add meatballs to soup. Cover and let
simmer for 1/2 hour. Add peas towards the end of the 1/2 hour. Add a
few pinches of oregano and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish soup with chopped fresh cilantro.

Serves 6-8.

<snip and save recipe>

I'm not surprised the recipe reminded you of this, a bit similar. I will
try this out, or atleast use portions of this recipe and combine it with the
Dutch soup. Dutch and Spanish meatball soup :-)

when i think of 'peas,' i think of the god-forsaken wrinkly vegetable

legume soup.
