Steps:

• Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground turkey, rice, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro and gently mix together until well combined. Use an ice cream scoop or your hands to shape the meatballs into 1½-inch balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should have about 25 meatballs.

SOPA DE ALBóNDIGAS (MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP)

Steps:

• Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, rice, mint, garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until well combined. Pinch off 2-ounce portions and gently roll between your palms to form golf ball-size rounds, transferring rounds to a sheet pan. (You should have about 28 meatballs.)
• In large pot, combine the olive oil, onion, carrots, celery and potato; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, oregano and cumin, and cook over medium, stirring frequently, until fragrant and tomato paste starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer over high.
• Once the stock begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add the meatballs, one by one, distributing them evenly in the pot until they're all submerged. If necessary, reduce the heat to reach a low simmer (this will keep the meatballs tender), and cook until the meatballs and rice are cooked through, about 40 minutes. (Resist the urge to stir for the first 20 minutes, otherwise you risk breaking the meatballs apart before they've firmed up.) Skim any impurities from the surface as the soup simmers.
• Season to taste with salt. Divide the soup among bowls, about four or five meatballs per portion, and set out bowls of whatever garnishes you like.

ALBONDIGAS AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE MEATBALL SOUP RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• To make the meatballs, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Take your time to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Using a big spoon (to measure) or just your hands grab about 1 "big" golf ball size portion of your mixture and roll it into a tightly packed ball and set it on a plate or piece of foil. Continue making the meatballs until all of the mixture has been used. Prepare the veggies for the soup. Roast the poblano chili's over a medium high flame for about 7 - 10 minutes. You'll need tongs to turn them often, being careful not to break the skins. The intent is to blister and blacken the skin, not to cook them completely. You can also roast them in a preheated 500 degree oven directly on the rack following the same steps above. They'll take a little longer to blister so keep a close eye on them. When the skins have blistered transfer them to a bowl and cover them so that they steam. This will make it easier to peel. Let them steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the skins by peeling them off with your hands or a knife. This is a messy job, a trick is to peel them under running water. Cut off the tops and slide them lengthwise, removing the seeds. For the rest of the veggies, peel and slice carrots into about 1/2 inch slices. Slice the celery and onions so all of the veggies are about the same size. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch dice. Set all of your veggies aside for now. Your prep is done so let's make some awesome Albondigas soup! Add your beef broth (or water and bouillon) the bay leaves, chili powder and cumin, to a large stock pot and bring it to a boil. Now add your meatballs, carrots, onion and celery to your pot and turn the heat down to simmer (about medium low heat). Simmer for about 1 hour covered. At this point your meatballs and veggies will be getting nice and tender so add your diced tomatoes and chopped roasted poblano chili's. Cover and simmer for another 30 to 45 minutes. It's now ready to eat so place about 2 meatballs into a bowl and fill with your delicious veggies and broth. Dig in, you'll love it! Garnish with avocado slices, tortilla chips, cilantro or whatever you like!
