Turkey Albondigas Soup

From EatingWell: January/February 2007

Albondigas, Spanish for “meatballs,” star in the traditional broth-based Mexican soup. Our version uses turkey rather than beef or pork for the meatballs, and we've pumped up the volume of fresh vegetables in the mix.

READER'S COMMENT:

Bison albondigas soup

Made it with bison, used brown rice instead of bread crumbs, 2 small cans of petite diced tomatoes with jalapeño peppers and cilantro ,added extra vegetables, two small zucchini , used a little Mexican seasoning in both the meatball and stock. I browned the meatballs in olive oil, then put them in the soup after the 1st boil. It was the best I have ever made!

Pros: Easy to follow directions , used others reviews to change it up a little, easy to adapt recipe

Tasty AND filling

My husband and kids really liked this. It was a cold night and I thought this would be a great way to get a warm balanced meal! I used bell peppers instead of poblano peppers and I added a tsp of chili powder. VERY yummy. My husband who always tell me dinner is "alright", actually said this was "good". A big step in our house as I am not the best cook! =)

Pros: Easy

I used canned green chiles instead of poblano peppers and it was still great! I also baked the meatballs in the oven for abuot 15 minutes at 350 before putting them in the soup to help them hold together and that was a great idea I must say, plus I skipped the "chill the meat balls in the fridge stage". I also added a dash of chili powder to the meat balls because I enjoy the little kick! A great LIGHT BUT HEARTY soup! Not to heavy but it sure fills you up! I paired it with a green salad and some mashed red potatoes. Yummy!
