Cozy albondigas soup with garlic-cilantro meatballs, potatoes, and carrots in seasoned broth.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • cooking spray
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 4 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 potatoes, cubed
Instructions:
  • Combine ground beef, half of the cilantro, half of the onion, garlic, garlic salt, and onion powder in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently mix until combined. Shape mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
  • Heat nonstick cooking spray in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs all over in the skillet. Remove meatballs to a plate and keep aside (meatballs will finish cooking in the soup).
  • Saute the remaining onion in the skillet over gentle heat until soft and translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cooked onions to a large pot.
  • Add the flavorful chicken broth to the pot with the onions and mix in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Allow the mixture to reach a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Simmer the meatballs and the rest of the cilantro for 30 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
