Knead 200 g ground meat with half a cup of fine bulgur for 3 minutes.
Roll small meatballs from the mixture and press them firmly so they do not fall apart while cooking.
Cook 1 cup of chickpeas and the diced carrot for 20 minutes.
Add the meatballs and boil for 12 minutes.
Adjust the salt and add the lemon juice after turning off the heat.
💡 Tip: Do not make the meatballs too large; they cook evenly inside the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot with mint sprinkled on top and lemon on the side.
