Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a 10-quart soup kettle. Add the garlic and saute for a minute, then add the veal and brown on all sides. Add the chicken wings and four quarts of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, skimming the top from time to time.

  2. Step 2

    Add the onion, bay leaves, celery, carrots, salt, peppercorns and dill. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for one hour or until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the veal and save for making the meatballs. Strain the soup through a fine sieve. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Step 4

    When preparing to serve, skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat and gently drop in the tiny meatballs. Cook for 15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    To serve, pour the soup in individual bowls. Place three meatballs in each bowl, garnish each with one-half teaspoon of fresh salmon caviar and watercress leaves.
