Albondigas (meatball) Soup, a delicious Mexican classic
1 white onion, chopped
2 bunches green onions, chopped
Saute in olive oil in a large pot.
1-7 oz can chopped green chilies, mild to hot
1 large can broken tomatoes, fire roasted are good
1 tsp fresh chopped garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 quart water
Add to pot and bring to boil. Then mix:
1 pound lean hamburger
2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper and garlic powder
Mix together, then form into one-inch
balls, added one at a time to boiling
soup.
Turn heat to low and simmer, covered.
Cook 45 minutes, then adjust seasonings.
A little fresh chopped cilantro on each serving.
(Mexican cooks tend to really overdo with the
cilantro.) Some steamed flour tortillas on the
side and you have a serious meal.
