My review
Albondigas Soup I
Kathy Nelson
"A rich, filling version of Mexican meatball soup. I make the meatballs ahead and freeze them to use as needed. Mild or hot salsa may be used; green chili salsa works particularly well!"

Ready In
- Mix together beef broth, salsa, 1 onion, tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. (If you use condensed beef broth (e.g., Campbell's), eliminate the salt in the meatballs and use 5 cans (10.5 ounces each) broth plus one quart water.) Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes.
- Combine ground chuck, sausage, 1 onion, egg, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, milk, fresh basil, and cornmeal, and mix well. Form into tiny, bite-size meatballs.
- Add meatballs and rice to broth. Simmer, covered, very slowly for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

This is a great and simple soup to make. The only place I would really stray would be the rice. The original recipe calls for uncooked rice to be added to the soup. If you do this, the starch...

Threw in cilantro where ever it called for basil & brown rice instead of white. It came out to be the best tasting soup! The flavor is outstanding.
