Directions

1. Bring the stock/water to the boil. Feel free to use more or less amount, as it entirely depends on how thick you like the soup.
2. Chop the onion and peppers and add them to the pan. Boil for about 10-15 minutes or until they start to soften.
3. In a bowl, mix the turkey mince with rice, oil, egg and season well with salt and pepper. Use your hands to shape balls.
4. Add the meatballs to the soup one by one, and leave them to cook through. You can now add some noddles or rice to the soup as well, if you want a thicker soup, but this is entirely optional.
5. Once the meatballs are cooked, (approximately 15-20 minutes) add the tomato paste, lemon juice, season well with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
6. Add the chopped parsley and allow the soup to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
