I grew up eating this soup and after trying dozens of recipes I have combined them to come up with this dish. The flavors are rich, the meatballs are tender and the broth is good enough to drink by itself. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

SPICY SPANISH ALBONDIGAS (MEATBALLS)

These little meatballs have a great kick and so much more flavor than traditional meatballs. Serve with additional Tabasco for sprinkling, and some very cold beer! When we were in Spain, San Miguel was the local favorite beer, but Dos Equis would be just as good!
