Albondigas (Meatballs)
- 1 pound ground sirloin beef
- ½ cup white rice – long grain (uncooked)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup cilantro (minced)
Instructions
- Start by making the meatballs. Place all ingredients in a medium bowl (ground sirloin through cilantro) and mix well with hands until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape meatballs using a small cookie school or a large tablespoon. Roll between hands to form round balls and set aside.
- Begin making the soup by heating oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, zucchini and celery as well as a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
- Add garlic, cumin, oregano and chipotle peppers to the pan and heat until fragrant, about 60 seconds, stirring frequently. Pour in chicken broth and lime juice and stir well.
- Increase heat to high and bring entire pot of soup to a low boil. Slowly add in the reserved meatballs and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Check soup for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with minced cilantro to serve.
