Albondigas (Spanish-style meatballs) soup

Albondigas (Spanish-style meatball) soup

Lightly browned meatballs and vegetables are simmered in homecooked tomato soup. A lovely one-pot dish to enjoy on cold days and nights. Don't forget to serve bread on the side to mop up that lovely broth that's almost as thick as a sauce.
