Mexican Meatball Soup Recipe – Authentic Sopa De Albondigas

Features:
    Cuisine:

    i got this recipe out of a Sephardic Cookbook. i really recommend this dish- it is a little hard to get just right because you add lemon juice and egg to the soup mixture, but when you get it right, it is worth it.
    This soup is rich and hearty and can be a meal unto its own. it is really good during the winter time because the thickness of the soup gives you a sense of comfort.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Place the Onion and Garlic in the Food Processor or Blender and Puree. Note to Cooker- I Found That When I Tried to Do This, It Didnt Puree Very Well. Even When I Left the Onion and Garlic in Chunks in the Meatballs, at the End, You Dont Notice.

    2
    Done

    Put the Puree in a Mixing Bowl With the Meat, Cinnamon, Allspice, Salt, Pepper, 1 Beaten Egg and Bread Crumbs. Mix Together by Hand and Set Aside.

    3
    Done

    in a Large Pot, Bring the Meat Stock to a Boil. Add the Rice and Reduce the Heat to a Gentle Boil

    4
    Done

    Have a Bowl of Cold Water to You While You Work. Wet Your Hands and Divide the Meat Mixture Into 6 or 8 Parts and Shape Each Into a Large Meatball. Put Them Into the Simmering Liquid and Partially Cover the Pot.

    5
    Done

    Cook 1 - 1 Hours. Note: Doesnt Need to Be That Long. I Cooked It For an Hour a Little Over an Hour and the Rice and the Meat Were Cooked. Also Another Thing- Check the Soup Every Once in a While Because I Found That the Liquid Evaporates Easily and I Had to Keep Adding Water So the Soup Wouldnt Burn.

    6
    Done

    During the Last 15 Minutes of Cooking, Beat the Lemon Juice With the Remaining Eggs. Pour One Ladle of the Stock Into the Egg/Lemon Mixture.

    7
    Done

    Reduce the Heat Under the Soup to the Lowest Simmer and Slowly Add the Egg/Lemon Mixture.

    8
    Done

    Stirring Constantly, Allow the Soup to Thicken but Make Sure the Liquid Doesnt Come to a Boil or the Eggs Will Cook and They Will Form Clumps in the Soup.

    9
    Done

    When the Soup Is Thickened, Remove from Heat.

    10
    Done

    and Then You Serve. Enjoy.
