Keep an eye on the meat so you can remove it when it is perfectly cooked. As for the lean pork, the bacon, the garlic, the parsley and the bread, put this through the mincing machine. Then add the eggs and a pinch of salt and mix everything. Prepare some balls with the resulting mixture and add them to the cooking soup. Once the meat is ready, take it out of the pot and strain off a little stock into another receptacle where you cook the potato and cabbage. When this is cooked, take out the ingredients and use the stock to boil the noodles.
