This is my mother's Sonoran recipe which has been in the family for years! We have enjoyed it for years and it is very cost effective! Some people add fresh veggies but we never have in our family recipe.

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The meatballs are so flavorful and the broth is so rich. I love serving it with a side of rice or potatoes.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the meatballs. It was still delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also added some frozen corn and black beans, and it turned out really well. It's a hearty and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold winter day.
