Meatballs---beat the egg in a medium bowl. Add the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper; mix together. Add the beef and mix lightly but thoroughly with your hands; roll into 16 meatballs. Heat the oil in a large pot over med-high heat. In batches, add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot. Soup--add the oil to the fat in the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until it gives off its fragrance, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and stir well. Add the stock, tomatoes, and their puree, water, thyme, sugar, vinegar, and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to med-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the meatballs and cook until they show no sign of pink when pierced in the center, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and reduce the heat to med-low. Simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in a wire sieve and rinse under cold running water. Stir the cooked rice into the soup; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, with a dollop of sour cream on each serving.
