The Albondigas recipe is a winner. I’ve made it twice now. This weekend I doubled it for a group of nine; everyone loved it.

I think it might be helpful to add the two eggs (for the meatball mixture) to the list of ingredients.

Thanks for the great recipe.

I’ve had this recipe tucked away for a while now and decided that today’s the day. It’s absolutely delicious! I used ground turkey instead of the other meat and ended up adding the entire can of diced tomatoes…didn’t have stewed. Thanks for sharing!

So late, as usual, to the party.

My neighbor (best neighbor ever) brought over a bowl of Mexican meatball soup that was so bright with its colors and flavors (I pity the fool who doesn’t like cilantro). I’d been doling out my own (seriously fabulous) turkey soup with shiitakes et al, but I only wanted to taste his soup, which he’d persuaded his friends to make.

Even with packaged ingredients (jars of salsa and so on), it was delicious, and we’re planning to remake from scratch. Or as nearly as we can. The German neighbor (he’s early thirties) is a skilled cook, and we love to share our techniques. I’m really excited about this one, Señor A.

XOX from chilly Soquel.

Great post! I like that EveryDay Food show and their magazines. Just wanted to say this recipe for Meatball Soup is right up my alley. I love all Mexican food and my daughter is crazy about soup – so definitely going to try this one.

It looks like bakso Indonesian beef meatballs soup. I'll try this one, it's perfect for this cold weather.
Thanks for sharing the recipe Matt, and the photo above looks very beautiful and classy.

Albondigas soup reminds me of my grandma too. Sad news, though--I made your version tonight and it is a step above that of my own dear sweet Nanita.

I won't tell her, though. It is still close enough to remind me of the lady I love. Kudos to your grandma. She obviously had it going on.

I'm late to this party but, wow! So much in this post. Beautiful picture (I've had to go back and look at it more than once), love the recipe (can't wait to try it), and that test kitchen looks like an amazing place to hang out.

I had albóndiga soup a week ago, the night of the election. It was the perfect food to eat after celebrating (mainly, I live in California so I was upset about Prop ad running around in the cold.

My mom made the soup and sent it with me to LA. She adds veggies like carrots and potatoes.
