Albondigas Soup Recipe:

Ingredients: For the meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 2 zucchini, diced
  • 6 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs: ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, dried oregano, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and set aside.
  3. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour in the beef or chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Add the ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Carefully add the meatballs to the simmering soup, one at a time, making sure they are submerged in the broth.
  8. Continue to simmer the soup for another 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Ladle the Albondigas Soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
