ALBONDIGAS (MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground turkey, rice, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro and gently mix together until well combined. Use an ice cream scoop or your hands to shape the meatballs into 1½-inch balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should have about 25 meatballs.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the canola oil and warm for about 1 minute. Working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
• Make the soup: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the onion to the pot, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano, and ancho chile and continue cooking for another minute, until fragrant.
• Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, salt, pepper, tomatoes and their juices, and stock and stir to combine. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
• Add the meatballs and cook, covered, until cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
• Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
• Immediately ladle the soup into bowls, discarding the ancho chile. Top with avocado, radishes, cilantro, queso fresco, serrano peppers, and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Serve with hot sauce on the side.
• Enjoy!

MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a hot griddle to roast. Turn ccasionally to have an even roasting (about 5-7 minutes). Once roasted, place in your blender and process until you have a smooth sauce. If your tomatoes aren't juicy and your blender is having a hard time blending, add ¼ cup of water.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan at medium high heat. Once it is hot, gently pour in the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes and then add the chicken broth. Keep cooking. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to simmer. While the sauce is cooking we will start forming the meatballs.
• To from the meatballs: In a small bowl, soak the bread with the milk until it is softened, about 1 minute.
• Place meat in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
• Grind garlic clove and peppercorns in your molcajete (the flavors won't be able to compare if you use the dried form, but they'll still work fine). Once ground, add it to the meat, as well as the bread soaked in milk and the beaten egg. Season with salt.
• Gently mix with your hands or a wooden spoon. Do not over-mix or your meatballs will be hard. Next, form the small balls (the size of a golf ball) with your hands, without forcing or putting too much pressure on the meat, and carefully drop them into the simmering tomato broth. Keep making the meatballs, repeating this process. Once all of the meatballs are in the broth, cook for another 15 to 20 minutes. 5 minutes before they're done, add the chopped cilantro and season with salt. In this step, add any extra vegetables you want in your soup to cook along with the meatballs.

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!
