Frikadeļu zupa is a Latvian meatball soup with numerous variations and recipes. The soup is usually prepared with a combination of water, carrots, celery, and potatoes. It is flavored with bay leaves and peppercorns. The meatballs are made with ground beef or pork (or a combination), milk, eggs, onions, flour, and breadcrumbs.

After the mixture is formed into small balls, everything is simmered together until the vegetables and meatballs are fully cooked. When served, this nourishing soup is typically enriched with the addition of sour cream and finely chopped parsley or dill.
