This was a very good soup! I changed the meatballs a tad--used all ground pork, added 1/4 c. of pearl rice that I had on hand, and 1/4 tsp. of cumin. My only complaint is that it was gone too soon.

This is a great recipe. I've made this version and I've also made it with rice instead of potatoes and added cabbage. So good either way.

This was delicious! It takes me back to my childhood and reminds me of the soup my grandmother makes. The only thing I changed based off the tips from other viewers is I used 1/3 cup of italian bread crumbs and 1/3 cup milk in the meatballs. I also add 1 egg white to help the meat stay together. You can use a whole egg but you really don't need to. I also added 1/2 cup of salsa into the soup in the last 30 minutes of cooking. I should mention that I doubled the recipe so you can cut these measuremeants in half if follwing exactly. I wouldn't do anything different next time. I think this added just the right flavor.

I needed to go grocery shopping, but it was so cold out so I did an ingredients search and found this. THANK THE LORD. It is sooo good! I didn't have celery so I just threw in frozen carrots and corn. Then I made some homemade baked corn tortilla chips and put them in. So good. Please make this immediately.

So yummy! Served with sliced avocado, squeeze of lime and cilantro. I love the idea of adding cilantro and onion to the meatballs - at first I thought it would be too overpowering, but it wasn't - I also added a little milk to make them more moist. Also, recommend adding potatoes at the end so they dont get mushy.

LOVED the use of cilantro IN the meatball which I don't believe I've ever done. This is a great hearty homey soup! The only change I made was to saute the carrots and celery with the onion. Also added some chopped tomatoes. YUM!

I absolutely love this recipe because it gives you a simple albondigas base recipe to build on. I had a lot of veggies needing to be used and ones that I wanted to add (Italian squash, red and green bell pepper,burdock root,and celery). I also changed up the meatballs by adding only fresh garlic,shallots,cilantro,and parsley, finely chopped.
