We love this soup. I usually quadruple the meatball ingredients to freeze the meatballs for later. (roll the meatballs and place on a cookie sheet in freezer - when frozen, pop them into a freezer bag). A tip: make sure to use long grain rice. I made once with short grain rice and it absorbed all the liquid and became mush instead of soup. -
I loved loved loved this! Been looking for the perfect recipe for albondigas! Thanks for sharing. -
Very tasty soup! Green Chili Salsa is very difficult to come by here, so I used some of my own homemade salsa, and I added about 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro. This makes at least 10 servings! Yum! Thanks Tonkcats! -
Very good - served to a crowd, varying ages and it went over great! -
My husband loves this soup. I double the rice and add carrots and celery.
