The Best Albondigas Recipe is a Mexican Meatball Soup

1. Chop the onion and carrot. Dice the potatoes, leaving the skin. Slice the jalapeño lengthwise and do not remove the seeds, as this is what adds spice to the soup. Put aside the flour, seasoned pepper, and ground beef. Add the rest of the ingredients to a large pot and bring the ingredients to a boil. Turn down to a simmer.

2. While the ingredients are simmering, prepare the ground beef. Mix the flour and lean ground beef with 2 tbsp of seasoned pepper. Roll the beef into small walnut-sized meatballs.

3. Carefully add the meatballs into the simmering ingredients. Continue to simmer the Albondigas soup for 30 to 40 minutes or until the meat and vegetables are cooked thoroughly. Stir the ingredients every so often to make sure the ingredients aren't sticking to the bottom of the pot. This must be done delicately. Do not break apart the meatballs.

4. Serve the delicious Albondigas Mexican meatball soup with warm tortillas. It's best to butter the tortillas and set them out for guests to enjoy as desired. Many people dip their tortillas into the soup, or use them to wrap the meatballs.
