Name: Homemade Albondigas Soup
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 1 h 30 min
Ingredients: 1 small onion, chopped; salt and ground black pepper to taste; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 pound ground beef; 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth; 3 potatoes, cubed; 1 pinch garlic salt; 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped; 1 pinch onion powder; cooking spray; 3 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces; 4 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place ground beef, 1/2 of the cilantro, 1/2 of the onion, garlic, garlic salt, and onion powder in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; mix gently until combined. Form meat mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.

Step 2

Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned all over. Transfer meatballs to a plate and set aside. (Meatballs do not need to be fully cooked since they will finish cooking in the soup.)

Step 3

Cook and stir remaining onion in the same skillet over medium-low heat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions to a large pot.

Step 4

Pour chicken broth into the pot with onions. Stir in carrots, celery, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
