Mexican Recipes With Ground Pork

Albondigas Soup I

Recipe Summary Albondigas Soup I

A rich, filling version of Mexican meatball soup. I make the meatballs ahead and freeze them to use as needed. Mild or hot salsa may be used; green chili salsa works particularly well!

Ingredients | Mexican Recipes With Ground Pork

1 pound lean ground beef

¼ pound pork sausage

1 onion, chopped

1 egg, beaten

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ cup milk

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

½ cup cornmeal

6 (14 ounce) cans beef broth

1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

1 onion, chopped

2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup white rice

Directions

Mix together beef broth, salsa, 1 onion, tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. (If you use condensed beef broth (e.g., Campbell's), eliminate the salt in the meatballs and use 5 cans (10.5 ounces each) broth plus one quart water.) Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes.

Combine ground chuck, sausage, 1 onion, egg, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, milk, fresh basil, and cornmeal, and mix well. Form into tiny, bite-size meatballs.

Add meatballs and rice to broth. Simmer, covered, very slowly for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
