Meatball Vermicelli Soup

Meatball Vermicelli Soup

Overview

When my mother was sick and hospitalized last year, she couldn't eat because she wasn't feeling well, so I would make a bowl of meatball soup, vermicelli soup, meat cake soup or the like every other day. It's easy to eat and digest, salty and light, and suitable for patients. Also suitable for the elderly and children.

Use a spatula to push them gently from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the pot. After all the meatballs are added, turn to medium heat and boil again for two to three minutes.
