Put together a Mexican soup for me

[Irene texas]

A friend in CA has a Mexican Neighbor who makes great Mexican food. Brought a pot of Mexican soup to her. She told me this morning that it had tiny meatballs and cabbage, potato's and tomato's , celery. Not to hot. Makes me wonder if there is a recipe for this. Could it have some beef broth maybe.
But I would eat soup everyday if hubby would let me. Got any good Mexican soup recipe's.

The best and easiest soup in the category it Tortilla Soup by Bear Creek. Add a can of chicken, put it in the crock pot and it's is wonderful.

I take it to functions all the time and people love it.

what you had is called "albondigas".. i am partial to pozole myself,which is more a stew.. plenty of recipes on the internet that you can tweek to your taste buds so i am not going to bother with a recipe.

My sister made this for me once, and Ive been making it ever since.
"Taco soup" tastes great and easy to make

Looked up one soup, Albondigas and it sounds wonderful.




Ingredients:




Servings:
8


Meatballs
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed (not the fully cooked kind)
1 egg, beaten
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 carrot, minced
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Albondigas Soup
6 cups chicken broth (I usually use nonfat and low sodium)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, cut in chunks
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with nothing added)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup cilantro
1 large zucchini, sliced
salt
pepper


Directions:

1

Make the meatballs first: Combine everything and mix thoroughly.


2

Form meatballs and roll between your palms (Otherwise, meatballs will fall apart in the soup).


3

You should make around 20 to 24 meatballs, set aside.


4

Combine chicken broth, onion, celery, tomatoes and their liquid, cumin, oregano and cilantro leaves in a large pot.


5

Bring to broil, and reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.


6

Drop meatballs in the soup (Make sure the soup is slightly boiling, the meatballs need to be cooked quickly).


7

Return to simmer and cook another 10 minutes.


8

Add zucchini and cook 10 minutes.


9

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.


10

You could top the soup with cooked rice, or just by itself.

you can add whatever you want to it, just like pazole.. wife learned to cook authentic mexican in michoacan.. these recipes are never followed exactly.. they generally throw in whatever is fresh from the garden or market that day..
