Mexican Meatball soup aka Sopa de Albondigas
We like everything natural at our house so my hubby and I came up with the idea to make our own tomatoe sauce, so simple but delicious. The great thing about this recipe is you can improvise on any vegetables you like.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a big pot boil the water along with the garlic and the onion. (On medium to low heat) Cover with a lid.
- 2
Blend together the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a blender (do not add water into the blender). Then add the sauce to the boiling pot. Cover with a lid and wait until it begins to bubble. TIP: If you feel like it may need more water then do so in 1/2 cup increments.
- 3
In a seperate bowl, mix with your hands or with a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, the ground beef, mint, egg, rice, salt, and flour. Form into balls (about the size of a golf ball), set them aside.
- 4
Peel your vegetables (except zucchinis) and cut them thinly or into small cubes. Place the carrots and chayote in a bowl. In a seperate bowl place the zucchinis. Place the potatoes in a bowl of water and set them aside. TIP: This prevents the potatoes from browning and it removes the starch from the potatoes.
- 5
Once you notice your soup boiling add your meatballs to the pot, carefully. Cover with a lid and wait for it to boil again (around 5-10 minutes depending on your stove).
- 6
Once you notice your meatballs are beginning to darken and your soup is boiling, add the carrots and chayote. Cover with a lid. Make sure you have this over a low heat, you do not want to overcook your meat and veggies. TIP: If you begin to notice grease foam at the top of the pot, you may use a ladel to remove as much as you can without removing to much water.
- 7
Once your pot is boiling again, check the carrots and chayote. Take one of each out of the pot. Check to see if its ready by cutting into it with a knife. If you feel a lot of resistance, then cover the pot and allow to boil for another 5 minutes. Check again and if you feel that it shows little resistance then add the potatoes. (Make sure to drain the potatoes, do not add them with the water filled with starch). Cover the pot. Boil for a few minutes. TIP: Make sure everytime you add a new ingredient or vegetable that its not fully cooked. Otherwise you will end up with a soggy mess.

Add the zucchinis lastly, and cover with a lid and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Add your seasoning. Salt to taste, bouillon, and cilantro leaves. You may leave out the 1/2 onion. Cover with the lid and allow to boil for a few minutes longer. Turn off the heat. You can let it sit for a bit or serve yourseld. Enjoy!

Mexican Meatball Soup Mexican Meatball Soup
Kinda my version of Albondigas. I prefer my meatballs cooked before adding them to hot broth and I use leftover Spanish rice instead of potatoes. This soup has a delicate Mexican flavor that is soooo good with avocado slices. A family pleaser that is tasty, cultural and light. Enjoy 😘

Spanish-Style Meat Balls: Albóndigas Spanish-Style Meat Balls: Albóndigas
This is a common Spanish dish. The sauce dictates the flavour of the entire dish, so feel free to play around with the ingredients until you reach the flavour that you like best.The sauce is quite rich thanks to the tomato sauce, partially caramelized onions, and balsamic vinegar.

Meatball soup Meatball soup
Seen this recipe on social media, I didn’t know that this is a thing lol! I had some leftover meatballs from my meatball pizza, so I thought I’d give this a try something different other than meatball subs or in a pasta... plus there’s is veggies in this for the kids.... good for soup and salad night (everyone seemed to like it and asked for me. I didn’t think this would be a hit in my house hold , but it was I had none left, I was surprised.) I added some seasoning not in the recipe I do recommend using your favorite seasoning.
