HOMEMADE ALBONDIGAS SOUP



Homemade Albondigas Soup image

This soup reminds me of when I was young, staying home from school. My grandmother would make this for me. It is so good and flavorful. It is great for a cold rainy day, or any day you feel like it. You can substitute any of the veggies for ones you like better. My grandmother would also make Mexican rice and scoop some into my bowl to make it even better!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
4 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 potatoes, cubed

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.

ALBóNDIGAS DE LA FAMILIA RONSTADT (RONSTADT FAMILY MEATBALLS)



Albóndigas de la Familia Ronstadt (Ronstadt Family Meatballs) image

Fragrant with mint and cilantro and a hit of oregano, these delicate Mexican meatballs have served Linda Ronstadt's family for generations. They were lunch for her grandfather, or a soup course when the family gathered at her grandparent's house. The recipe, published in her memoir-cookbook hybrid "Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands" (Heyday, 2022), is different from many traditional albóndigas recipes, which use rice or soft vegetables like potatoes or carrots to bind the meatballs. It may seem like the meatball components won't come together when kneading at first, but stick with it. The poaching liquid becomes a broth, which benefits from skimming off the little bit of foam that appears before serving. A variation of the Ronstadt family meatballs first appeared in The Times in 1989.

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 65 meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds ground beef, preferably flank and round steak
6 medium tomatoes, preferably plum
1/2 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 medium scallion, minced
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano
Fine sea salt and black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil or melted lard
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat your broiler. Put the ground beef in a large bowl.
  • Broil the fresh tomatoes just until the skins can be removed easily (the skins will split and char in spots), 7 to 10 minutes. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds and purée the flesh in a blender. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.
  • Add the mint, cilantro, scallion, garlic, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the meat; mix well. Add the tomato purée and knead the mixture until incorporated.
  • Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the oil or melted lard to the meat mixture, incorporating it by kneading. The mass should be neither dry nor too liquid. Test the mixture by forming a piece into a ball the size of a walnut. It should hold together.
  • Proceed to form walnut-size balls, and then drop a few at a time into the boiling water. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until all the meatballs are cooked through. Serve the meatballs in the liquid in which they were cooked, with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef and pork: The quality of the meat will greatly impact the flavor of your albondigas. Look for ground beef and pork that is fresh, lean, and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of seasonings to your meatballs. This is what will give them their delicious flavor. Some common seasonings used in albondigas include garlic, onion, cilantro, cumin, and oregano.
  • Brown the meatballs before adding them to the soup: Browning the meatballs will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart in the soup.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your albondigas soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to look for one that is low in sodium.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to albondigas soup. Some common vegetables used in albondigas soup include potatoes, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
  • Serve the soup with rice or bread: Albondigas soup is typically served with rice or bread. This helps to soak up the delicious broth and makes the soup more filling.

Conclusion:

Albondigas soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give albondigas soup a try!
