Albondigas Soup
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:35min
Albondigas soup is a traditional Mexican recipe, a hearty soup that is prepared mainly at home and is made with meatballs cooked in a rich broth with vegetables, herbs and spices, the result is a very heartwarming meal. What makes this recipe unique is the use of meatballs making it a very satisfying and nourishing recipe. To make the meatballs minced beef, pork or a mixture of both can be used, and then combined with cooked rice making them more substantial and adding texture to them, you can also add herbs and spices. Top Tips When Making Albondigas: Try using a variety of meats for a different spin on this recipe. Traditionally they are prepared with minced beef, but you can also use pork, chicken, or turkey mince. Use spices to add more layers of flavour. We like adding a teaspoon or two of Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste or any of our Fajita & Taco Mixes. Use a flavoursome broth, for this dish to be as lovely as it can be a nice broth is key. You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Steamed white rice is traditionally used as a binder to make this dish but you can also use bread crumbs, panko or crushed salted crackers instead.
