Albondigas Soup Recipe

Meatball Soup Recipe

This Albondigas Soup Recipe (meatball soup recipe) is a Mexican classic and one of those easy soup recipes which offers a healthy one-pot meal. I particularly like using fresh coriander in the meatballs.

You can use leftover meatballs from the following recipes in this soup: Homemade Meatball Recipe with Fresh Tomato Sauce or Swedish Meatballs Recipe. Make up the soup and add the baked meatballs.

  • Easy
  • Preparation time: 10 - 15 minutes
  • Cooking time: about 30 minutes
  • Serves: 4
  • Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into circles
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes (14oz / 410g)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 pints / 1 liter chicken stock
  • a little oil for shallow frying
  • Meatballs:

  • 1lb / 450g ground beef
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley or coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ ground black pepper
  • 1½ teaspoon cumin
  • You will need a large pot.

    Method:

    1. Fry the onion in a little oil. Allow it to soften and brown slightly.
    2. Add the garlic and carrots. Fry for about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, canned tomatoes, tomato paste and finally the chicken stock. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the carrots have softened.
    3. How to make meatballs:

    4. Mix together all the meatball ingredients. Roll the mixture into balls just smaller than a golf ball. Avoid over-handling the mixture in order to try and keep the mixture light.
    5. Once the soup has cooked for about 5 minutes, drop the meatballs gently into the soup. Cook for a further 20 minutes until the meatballs have cooked through.
    6. When you serve the soup, this quantity will allow each person to have 4 meatballs.
