ingredients

Meatballs
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cracked wheat
1 small onion, minced
1 teaspoon dry red pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
Broth
2 tablespoons butter
32 ounces plain yogurt
2 tablespoons dried mint
1 egg
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth

directions

Mix together salt, beef, bulgar, onion, red pepper, black pepper, one egg. Use food processor if necessary to blend. Dip hands in cold roll into balls about a size of a quarter.
For broth crack egg in yogurt and mix well with mint. Heat up 2 cans broth along with 2 cups water, add yogurt mix and keep stirring so soup will not curdle. Add butter and stir until melted.
Once broth is nearly boiling add meatballs and heat for ten minutes.
Note: If you want a richer soup, add a pea size pat of butter in the middle of each meatball. It helps if they are cut up and then frozen when rolling the meatball.
