Instructions
Ingredients for the soup
- 2 large onions
- 1 large carrot
- 500 g veal
- 50 ml oil
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1.5 l water
- salt
- black pepper
- Vegeta seasoning
- 3 bay leaves
- 200 ml milk
- fresh parsley
- Finely chop the onion. Coarsely grate the carrot. Saute the carrot and onion in 50 ml oil with 1 tsp salt over low heat for about 3 minutes.
- While sauteing, rinse the finely chopped (minced) veal with boiling water. This is done to draw the blood out of the meat so the soup stays light. You can do it under very hot running water, or bring 2 l of water to a boil on the stove beforehand.
- Add the meat to the sauteed vegetables. After 5 minutes add the black pepper, Vegeta and bay leaves and pour in 500 ml of the warm water (from the total amount).
- Simmer over low heat for 40 minutes. Then add 3 tbsp flour and whisk for about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the remaining warm water, stirring constantly.
- Taste and, if needed, add more salt or Vegeta. Simmer the soup until the meat is done, stirring from time to time.
- Remove the finished soup from the heat and add 200 ml cold milk. Stir and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley.
For the bread sticks (optional): to 280 ml warm water add 1 tsp sugar, 50 ml oil and 1 sachet dry yeast and stir. Without waiting for the yeast to rise, add the flour (400 g) mixed with salt (1 tsp). Knead a soft, sticky dough and leave it in a warm place for 20 minutes. Divide into equal 70 g portions, shape into long thin ropes, roll each in flour for a crisp crust, arrange on a lined tray, let rest 10 minutes and bake in a preheated 200 C oven.
