I can’t tell you enough about this delicious CALDO DE ALBONDIGAS, it is a Mexican Meatball Soup that is loaded with flavor. It is hearty with pillowy soft beef meatballs that are perfectly seasoned and vegetables, you will put this down on your list of favorites. I love to prepare this soup, especially on chilly or cold days, the unique flavor of the smoky chipotle pepper and it’s adobo sauce take it to a whole new level, it’ll have a subtle hint of heat that takes it to a new level, but you can add the Smokey flavor with the adobo sauce and leave the chipotle pepper out too. I love adding a few pieces of a sweet potato to give it a hint of sweetness that will be the perfect balance with everything else. I side it with Mexican rice and freshly made corn tortillas. I hope you give it a try. ❤️
