Albondigas Soup II

Too watery, need to use bone broth as a base to start. Used family recipe for meatballs as the suggested one was bland and unsatisfying. Boil broth with jalapeño for a more satisfying kick. Unsatisfied, but an ok recipe.

I have made this a few times and each time it gets a little better. I read some of the other reviews and I doubled the broth and used 8 cups of water and 4 bullion cubes. I also used rice instead of bread crumbs and my meatballs do not crumble. I also add fresh cilantro and some rotelle tomatoes and its perfect!

I really used this recipe as a model since I switched up a lot of Ingredients. I used turkey instead of ground beef and breadcrumbs instead of one slice of bread. I used green chilies instead of bell peppers and I did not have any cumin so I added a little taco seasoning. I added one more cup of water because it just wasn't enough water. It came out great but the turkey meatballs fell apart. Not sure how to fix that. Maybe adding one more egg. Garnish with chopped cilantro to make it pretty. Deliciously flavorful and spicy soup!

I had high hopes for this. Not very spicy and a little bland. I'm giving a 4 because I altered the taste by using ground turkey. Otherwise I would have given a 3.

I made so many changes, I should probably be submitting what I made as a different recipe but, they never post my recipes so, here goes. I sort of combined this recipe with others I found on the internet. First of all, I found a recipe for Alton Brown's meatballs and they were so different from any meatball I've ever made but, the recipe had great reviews so I gave it a try, using ground turkley in place of the ground pork, lamb & beef Alton Brown uses. They were incredible! The recipe is easy to find if you google for it. Back to this recipe, I doubled the oregano and cumin and left out the green pepper & celery though I did add some celery salt to get the celery flavor. I also shredded the cabbage instead of adding in wedges and I squeezed a lime wedge over the bowl of spoup just before serving. This was so good, I ate the leftover soup for lunch every day until it was gone.
