Mexican Chicken Meatball Soup (Sopa de Albondigas de Pollo)

A delicious soup recipe. Ground chicken meatballs are simmered in chicken broth with zucchini and chayote. I like to serve it with fresh spinach, chopped avocado, lemon juice, and chipotle chile.

Step: 1

Combine 4 tomatoes, 1/2 an onion, and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Step: 2

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the blended tomato mixture; cook until mixture changes color, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, reduce heat, and simmer while you prepare the meatballs.

Step: 3

Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add 3 chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, egg, rice, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until mixture is uniform. Take about 1/4 cup of mixture and form into round meatballs using wet hands. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture.

Step: 4

Bring stock mixture to a boil. Place a meatball into a ladle and submerge into the boiling stock. Remove ladle and repeat with remaining meatballs.

Step: 5

Place zucchini, chayote, and carrots into the stock. Bring to a boil again. Lower heat, season with salt, and cover. Simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.

The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
