Meatball Soup

Meatball Soup

　　Meatball soup features a mix of meat and vegetables. The meatballs come in various types, including beef and mutton, pork, tofu, bean paste, deep-fried, and fish balls, among others. Just the bean paste meatballs alone come in several varieties—made with yellow bean sprouts, radish, cellophane noodles, or cilantro. The meatballs can be either deep-fried or boiled. In terms of size, some are as big as walnuts, while others are as small as Ningbo-style tangyuan (glutinous rice balls)—the variety is dazzling just to look at. When poured over piping hot bone broth, the aroma is irresistible. With a bite, you get a mix of meat and vegetables, crispy and tender textures, crunchy and soft elements, all combining for a uniquely flavorful and delicious taste.
