Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Meatball Soup (Albondigas).
Step 1
Start by filling a large stockpot with water and bringing it to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once bubbling, toss in your sliced carrots, diced potatoes, diced onion, zesty salsa, and beef bouillon cubes.
Step 3
Give everything a good stir and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the flavors mingling.
Step 4
While that’s happening, grab a mixing bowl and combine the ground beef, seasoned dry bread crumbs, and a splash of milk.
Step 5
Mix it all together until it’s well blended and feels just right.
Step 6
Now, roll the mixture into bite-sized meatballs, about an inch in diameter, and gently drop them into the simmering broth.
Step 7
Turn up the heat to bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce it to medium-low.
Step 8
Cover the pot and let it cook for around 20 minutes, allowing the meatballs to become tender and the vegetables to soften beautifully.
Step 9
When it’s ready, serve your hearty soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for that extra pop of flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this delicious dish!.
