Instructions
MAKE THE MEATBALLS
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.
- Roll into meatballs – I use a cookie scoop to create even sized meatballs. Place them on a tray, and refrigerate while you make the soup base
MAKE THE SOUP BASE
- Heat the olive oil over medium, high heat.
- Sauté the onion, celery and carrots until softened.
- Add garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper and cook 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, tomatoes and potatoes.
- Bring to a boil, the reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the meatballs - lower them in gently using a slotted spoon.
- Cover and simmer over medium low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through (should be 160 degrees F when tested with an instant read thermometer).
- Sprinkle cilantro over the top and serve.
- Devour.

Notes
- How do you know when meatballs are cooked? - o Meatballs should be 160 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. They're gently simmered so they don't fall apart! • How to store Albondigas o This soup will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in a tightly sealed container. • Easy Substitutions o Beef broth can be used in place of the chicken broth. You could also do a combination of the two. o Brown rice can be substituted for white rice if you wish - we only use 1/2 cup, so it will do the same job! o Parsley will work in place of the fresh oregano in the meatballs! o You may wish to add a little Italian Seasoning to the soup base - it makes a nice change if you make this recipe a lot as I do!
