# Firstly, boil the
lentil and boil the
chickpea in separate pots.
# Prepare the meatballs. Grate the
onion which is given in the ingredients, without making the ground meat too much juicy. Add
flour, salt and black
pepper on it and knead this mixture.
# Pick pieces, each of the pieces has
chickpea size, from the mixture and roll them. Put the meatballs onto a plate with some
flour, and shake the plate to cover the meatballs with
flour.
# Dice the remaining
onion finely and roast with vegetable oil, until it softens. Then, add
tomato paste on it and add broth also.
# When the broth reaches to the boiling temperature, add boiled
lentil and
chickpea in it. Cook it for a while more and add salt, black
pepper and crushed red
pepper in it also.
# Add the orzo into the boiling soup. 5 minutes later, add the meatballs also. After cooking it for 15 more minutes, remove the pot from the stove.
# Fill the hot soup into bowls and sprinkle dried mint all over.
