Seems like a pretty simple veggie soup until you add the Mexican meatballs and let them simmer until done. We make our juicy, well-spiced meatballs last by breaking of a bit in every bite. A bowl of albondigas and a side of chips and salsa are all we need to keep away the cold.
Bring a bit of México to your kitchen: There's nothing better than the aroma of homemade soup simmering on a hot stove. Luckily, caldo de albondigas is easy to reproduce in your own home. The meatballs even simmer in the big pot of goodness as they cook, adding a hearty flavor to the broth-based soup. As always, you can up the spiciness of your pot of soup with a couple finely chopped chipotles in adobo or your favorite chile peppers. When you dish out servings, add a bit of extra flavor and aroma with a couple fresh cilantro sprigs and cubes of ripe avocado.
