Albondigas soup

Well....here we go! I will try my best to keep this up to date. I am NOT very good at "writing" recipes, and I almost never measure!! 

I hope you all enjoy!


    



Albondigas Soup (meatball soup)

Ingredients:

1lb ground beef or ground pork (I use a mix of both)
2 eggs
1 medium white or yellow onion (chopped)
4 or 5 medium carrots (sliced thick)
4 or 5 medium potatoes  (chopped chunky)
1 sm can of diced tomatoes 
3/4 cup of un-cooked white rice (any brand)
beef bouillon (I use powder, 2 table spoons)
enough water to cover the vegetables (don’t over fill because when you add the meatballs, it makes the pot full, but you want the meatballs covered)
Use spices to taste:
garlic salt
black pepper
salt

In a soup pot;  bring onion, carrots, potatoes, and bouillon to a slow boil, while preparing meatballs......

Mix ground meat with egg, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and un-cooked rice.

Make  meatballs with the mixture. My family likes them small, but it’s up to you. Mine are normally the size between a giant gum ball and a golfball. :)

Turn up the heat on the pot and carefully drop the meatballs into the broth. Once finished, turn down to a medium heat, add canned tomatoes,  cover and let simmer for about 10 mins.

Always taste your broth BEFORE adding the un-cooked meatballs. Salt and pepper to taste. 
You can also always spice this up with some jalepenos, or a can of green chillies etc. 
This serves four people, with leftovers. The meatballs will soak up a lot of the broth due to the rice. So add water accordingly. 

Good Luck and enjoy!!
