SOPA DE ALBóNDIGAS (MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP)
Ask 10 people for a recipe for a particular dish, and you'll probably get 10 different recipes. Mexican sopa de albóndigas is no exception. Most variations are likely to involve vegetables, rice, a tomato-based broth and, inevitably, meatballs. Wesley Avila, the chef of Guerrilla Tacos in Los Angeles, learned this recipe from his mother, who learned it from her grandmother. His meatballs are hefty in size but light in density, and follow his family's tradition of adding uncooked white rice to the pork-beef mixture before shaping it into balls and cooking: "My mom always told me that when the rice is done, the soup is ready," Mr. Avila said. "She used it almost as a timer." The toppings - piled on as you would atop chili - skew cheffy, but they are entirely optional.

Steps:
- Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, rice, mint, garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until well combined. Pinch off 2-ounce portions and gently roll between your palms to form golf ball-size rounds, transferring rounds to a sheet pan. (You should have about 28 meatballs.)
- In large pot, combine the olive oil, onion, carrots, celery and potato; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, oregano and cumin, and cook over medium, stirring frequently, until fragrant and tomato paste starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer over high.
- Once the stock begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add the meatballs, one by one, distributing them evenly in the pot until they're all submerged. If necessary, reduce the heat to reach a low simmer (this will keep the meatballs tender), and cook until the meatballs and rice are cooked through, about 40 minutes. (Resist the urge to stir for the first 20 minutes, otherwise you risk breaking the meatballs apart before they've firmed up.) Skim any impurities from the surface as the soup simmers.
- Season to taste with salt. Divide the soup among bowls, about four or five meatballs per portion, and set out bowls of whatever garnishes you like.
MEATBALL SOUP (SOPA DE ALBONDIGAS)
A tasty soup with lots of wonderful vegetables. If you are like me and don't have a spice grinder or a coffee grinder dedicated to spices, put the toasted seeds in a heavy-duty zip bag and crush with a mallet, sift through a sieve and then crush remaining material through sieve with the back of a spoon. I found this recipe in Cooking Light.

SOPA DE ALBONDIGAS (AKA MEATBALL SOUP)
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:
- 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 didn't puree very well. Even when I left the onion and garlic in chunks in the meatballs, at the end, you don't notice.
- 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.
- In a large pot, bring the meat stock to a boil. Add the rice and reduce the heat to a gentle boil
- 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.
- Cook 1 ½ - 1 ¾ hours. NOTE: Doesn't 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 wouldn't burn.
- 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.
- Reduce the heat under the soup to the lowest simmer and slowly add the egg/lemon mixture.
- Stirring constantly, allow the soup to thicken but make sure the liquid doesn't come to a boil or the eggs will cook and they will form clumps in the soup.
- When the soup is thickened, remove from heat.
- And then you serve. enjoy.

SOPA DE ALBONDIGAS (MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP)
It's kind of funny for a gringa like me to say this is a favorite I grew up on, but it's true; my dad learned it from a Mexican friend way back, and it's been my favorite soup as long as I can remember. My dad always uses celery; I don't always have it around, it's fine to omit it. Feel free to adjust seasonings to taste. The tomatillos thicken this dish as well as adding flavor; I haven't seen them in any other recipe, but I consider them essential! Almost all measurements are approximate; I just judge by eye and throw stuff in! This soup is killer with homemade tortillas.

Steps:
- Mix the meatball ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Shape the meatballs into walnut sized balls. Place the meatballs on a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate until you are ready to cook them.
- Place the dry chilies, garlic cloves and tomato into a small sauce pan. Fill with water until the chilies are completely covered. Boil the chilies and tomato on medium high heat for 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
- In a large stock pot, heat the oil. Saute the onions for 2 minutes. Add in the carrots and stir. Pour in the water, cumin, bouillon cubes, chayote, potatoes and green beans.
- While the soup is heating up, place the tomato, chilies and garlic in the blender with 2 cups of fresh water. Blend on high or 5 minutes.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the blended chile into the stock pot scraping the bottom with a spoon. This may require two or three times (seeds and skins will get stuck so you may have to do this in two or so batches rinsing the sieve clean after each time.) Once you have strained all of the chile into the stock pot, stir and bring to a boil. Once the soup is boiling taste the soup and add salt if needed. Cook the soup for 15 minutes.
- Next, turn the heat down to medium low. Add in the meatballs one at a time until they are all in the pot. Gently stir the soup to make sure the meatballs are incorporated in with the broth and vegetables. Cover the soup and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve the soup in bowls garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
- Enjoy!
