This is a Mexican soup that is soooo tasty, It’s a very hearty soup and served with warm bread makes a delicious meal.

Albondigas means “meatballs” in Spanish……and the meatballs are what makes this soup special.

This soup has become a family staple for cold winter days.

Here’s the thing: use all your favorite vegetables! (Or whatever you find in the fridge….)

Just throw all your chopped veggies into a pot along with the consomme’,water, tomatoes and spices and simmer away! The smell is fabulous!

But it’s ALL ABOUT THE MEATBALLS! They push this soup over the top! Make them as large or small as you like.

GREAT LEFTOVERS!
