Hearty Meatball and Bean Soup

A simple, low-fat, but satisfying soup made from simple ingredients. I really love such simple soups without frying, vegetable oil and excess fat. Although, if desired, carrots can be fried in a frying pan. And if desired, you can add finely chopped onion. Any minced meat can be used for meatballs, but my favorite is lean beef. Due to this, the calorie content of the dish is greatly reduced.
