AWESOME SOUP! Tried a medium green-chile salsa, just the right amount of heat. Would also add a bit more rice to recipe. Takes quite awhile to form meatballs, but keeping them to bitesize is well worth the extra time. Thanks

Threw in cilantro where ever it called for basil & brown rice instead of white. It came out to be the best tasting soup! The flavor is outstanding.

EXCELLENT soup. However, be aware that the "heat" of the green chiles (hot, medium or mild) has a big effect on the spiciness of the soup. I used hot chiles the first time I made it, and although it was great, only the die-hard chile-heads could eat it. Make it medium or mild for a more overall crowd-pleasing dish!

We love this soup! I made it for a pot luck at the church and everyone loved it. I added cooked rice to the meatballs when I mixed them up and less rice to the broth.

This is the best recipe I've tried from this website. The only change I made was adding 1 cup of rice. My kids even loved it!!

Very good...and VERY spicy. It was too spicy for my kids so I added a dollop of sour cream to each bowl and they loved it!! The sour cream really toned it down without it losing any of the taste.

This was a wonderful, authentic soup. I love to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant just for albondiga soup...now I don't have to! It was truly great, I've made it several times since I first got the recipe and have had a lot of people ask me for the recipe. Worth the work on this one!

this is a great tasting soup but I made the mistake of making the meatballs too large. They should be "bitesize" only.

This soup was yum-yum-yummy. Perfect for a cold evening because it is so filling and should be eaten as a meal by itself. I added about 1/2 cup more rice because I didn't feel the recipie called for enough. This is what makes it so hearty. I froze what my husband and I couldn't finish and I'm looking forward to thawing it out soon!

This soup had a nice flavor, different from any I've made before. My husband really enjoyed it. Especially the meatballs! They took me so long to make though. I made them the night before. I had extras which I used in a stoganoff recipe. YUM

Great recipe! I did make a few adjustments, I addded a bit more rice, I used ground turkey and use 1/2 beef broth and 1/2 chicken broth - what a treat for a healthy, warm satisfying meal.

I cooked this as part of a mexican dinner for my mothers birthday; she says it reminds her of how her mother used to make it. I added a extra rice (3/4cup) and made & refridgerated the meatballs the day before - that really helped to make things go quicker. Thanks for the recipe, its a favorite!!

This recipe had great taste, seems like it needs about a 1/2 cup more rice, but other than that the soup was excellent. The whole family enjoyed

This is a good soup. I didn't have the green chili salsa, so I used a jar of tomato salsa and added a can of green chilis. Definitely a make again!

I made a couple of adjustment and added Green & Red Peppers, I used cubed pork tenderloin along with the ground round meatballs. This is an excellant soup. Everyone loved it and the leftovers lasted about 24 hrs before they disappeared.
