Albondigas al Chipotle Soup

Albondigas al Chipotle

Recipe Details:

This soup is both a main dish and a side. It’s a wonderfully warm soup filled with meatballs. For a Mexican themed dinner it will be the star attraction. We suggest weighing each meat ball so they are the same size and cook in the sauce for the same amount of time. So is it a meatball soup or is it meatballs in a delicious sauce? However you look at it, you must try this fabulous meal.
