Albondigas is a traditional Mexican soup of beef and turkey meatballs simmered in a fragrant tomato and chicken broth. Filled with vegetables and spices, it’s hearty and delicious. Don’t forget the toppings! Sliced avocado, shaved radishes, cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and serrano peppers add even more flavor and texture.
