Mexican Meatball Soup

Albondigas, or Mexican Meatball Soup, is the perfect comfort food. Warming and wholesome, this classic Mexican soup comes in many forms but our version is simple to make and packed with flavour.

Experiment by substituting peppers or green beans to use up those leftover veggies. Serve sprinkled with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime juice.
