Groentesoep met balletjes is a traditional vegetable soup with meatballs. It’s usually made with a combination of vegetable stock, carrots, celery, chives, parsley, vermicelli pasta, salt, and black pepper. The stock is heated and brought to a boil, and the carrots, pasta, celery, and meatballs are then cooked in the stock until everything is tender.

The meatballs are typically made with a mixture of ground beef, breadcrumbs, onions, salt, pepper, and parsley. If desired, Worcestershire sauce can also be added to the meatball mixture for more flavor. Once the soup has been cooked, it’s garnished with chives and parsley and served while piping hot.
