HOMEMADE ALBONDIGAS SOUP

Steps:

• Place the ground beef, 1/2 of the cilantro, 1/2 of the chopped onion, the garlic, garlic salt, and onion powder in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and mix gently until combined. Form the meat mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
• Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray, and brown the meatballs carefully over medium-high heat; remove the meatballs and set aside (the meatballs do not need to be fully cooked; they will finish cooking in the soup). Cook and stir the remaining onion in the same skillet over medium-low heat until translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the chicken broth into a large pot, and stir in the onion; add the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are nearly tender, about 15 minutes. Add the meatballs and the remaining cilantro; simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

AUTHENTIC SOPA DE ALBONDIGAS (MEATBALL SOUP)

Steps:

• Mix the meatball ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Shape the meatballs into walnut sized balls. Place the meatballs on a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate until you are ready to cook them.
• Place the dry chilies, garlic cloves and tomato into a small sauce pan. Fill with water until the chilies are completely covered. Boil the chilies and tomato on medium high heat for 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
• In a large stock pot, heat the oil. Saute the onions for 2 minutes. Add in the carrots and stir. Pour in the water, cumin, bouillon cubes, chayote, potatoes and green beans.
• While the soup is heating up, place the tomato, chilies and garlic in the blender with 2 cups of fresh water. Blend on high or 5 minutes.
• Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the blended chile into the stock pot scraping the bottom with a spoon. This may require two or three times (seeds and skins will get stuck so you may have to do this in two or so batches rinsing the sieve clean after each time.) Once you have strained all of the chile into the stock pot, stir and bring to a boil. Once the soup is boiling taste the soup and add salt if needed. Cook the soup for 15 minutes.
• Next, turn the heat down to medium low. Add in the meatballs one at a time until they are all in the pot. Gently stir the soup to make sure the meatballs are incorporated in with the broth and vegetables. Cover the soup and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
• Serve the soup in bowls garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
• Enjoy!

ALBONDIGAS AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE MEATBALL SOUP RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• To make the meatballs, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Take your time to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Using a big spoon (to measure) or just your hands grab about 1 "big" golf ball size portion of your mixture and roll it into a tightly packed ball and set it on a plate or piece of foil. Continue making the meatballs until all of the mixture has been used. Prepare the veggies for the soup. Roast the poblano chili's over a medium high flame for about 7 - 10 minutes. You'll need tongs to turn them often, being careful not to break the skins. The intent is to blister and blacken the skin, not to cook them completely. You can also roast them in a preheated 500 degree oven directly on the rack following the same steps above. They'll take a little longer to blister so keep a close eye on them. When the skins have blistered transfer them to a bowl and cover them so that they steam. This will make it easier to peel. Let them steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the skins by peeling them off with your hands or a knife. This is a messy job, a trick is to peel them under running water. Cut off the tops and slide them lengthwise, removing the seeds. For the rest of the veggies, peel and slice carrots into about 1/2 inch slices. Slice the celery and onions so all of the veggies are about the same size. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch dice. Set all of your veggies aside for now. Your prep is done so let's make some awesome Albondigas soup! Add your beef broth (or water and bouillon) the bay leaves, chili powder and cumin, to a large stock pot and bring it to a boil. Now add your meatballs, carrots, onion and celery to your pot and turn the heat down to simmer (about medium low heat). Simmer for about 1 hour covered. At this point your meatballs and veggies will be getting nice and tender so add your diced tomatoes and chopped roasted poblano chili's. Cover and simmer for another 30 to 45 minutes. It's now ready to eat so place about 2 meatballs into a bowl and fill with your delicious veggies and broth. Dig in, you'll love it! Garnish with avocado slices, tortilla chips, cilantro or whatever you like!
