Season the ground meat with salt and pepper, add the semolina, and mix thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into small, firm balls slightly smaller than a walnut (I ended up with 25).
Peel the onion and finely chop it.
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
Pour 2 liters of water into a pot and bring to a boil.
Add the potatoes to the water.
Add the onion.
Add the carrots.
Bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper, and add the bay leaf.
Drop the meatballs one by one into the boiling soup.
Cook for 15–25 minutes depending on the size of the meatballs.
Add the vermicelli and cook for 5 minutes (or according to the package directions).
Add the finely chopped parsley and turn off the heat.
