Sopa de Albondigas (Meatballs Soup)

11/8/2017

Growing up this was one the most popular week meals for dinner. I grow up in the countryside 2200 meters above sea level, so you can imagine how popular this soup was on those cold nights.
​The original version, as my mom and grandma use to make it, has a lot more meat, but I like to incorporate more veggies and reduce the meat to the minimum possible to keep the original flavor without lots of meat.

This soup is easy and perfect for a weeknight meal.
