Here is the video :

Ingredients

For the meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/3 cup basmati rice

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

• 1 teaspoon salt

• freshly ground pepper

For the soup:

• 6 cups water or chicken stock

• 1 teaspoon salt

For the emulsion:

• 4 egg yolks

• 1/2 cup lemon juice, juice of 2 lemons (approx.)

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 1/4 teaspoon dried/or fresh dill

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

STEPS:

1 - Add all ingredients for the meatballs in bowl, mix, make meatballs

2 - Cover or don't cover & Refrigerate for 15 minutes

3 - Bring water/chicken stock to a boil with 1 tea spoon of salt

4 - Put meatballs in water and let simmer for 30 mins

5 - Remove meatballs

6 - Add 1 cup of water to soup

7 - Combine emulsion ingredients in a bowl and whisk egg + ingredients until frothy

8 - Add 2 scoops of chicken broth (1 at a time) while whisking. Do not stop whisking as this keeps the egg from cooking and makes your soup creamy !!

10 - Taste for seasoning (salt + pepper)

11 - Add meatballs back to soup and let simmer 5 minutes
