  1. In a large saucepan, heat the lard or olive oil then cook the onion, carrots and celery for 3-4 minutes or until pale golden. Add the hot water, salt and pepper and stir well. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, for the meatballs, combine the minced meat, rice, egg white and parsley together in a bowl and season well.

  3. Roll the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of walnuts and toss them in the flour.

  4. Drop the meatballs into the soup and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to prevent the meatballs from sticking.

  5. When all the meatballs are boiled, add the borsh, sauerkraut juice and vinegar and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes.

  6. Add the egg yolk, parsley and dill and serve the chorba in warmed serving bowls, accompanied by yoghurt, fresh chillies and crusty bread.
