Mexican Chicken Meatball Soup (Sopa de Albondigas de Pollo)

Share

Rich and delicious, this Mexican Chicken Meatball Soup (Sopa de Albondigas de Pollo) recipe has surprisingly few steps for a soup that’s so hearty and complex in its flavors.

I guess you could say this like a Latin American version of the Jewish matzo ball soup – juicy chicken meatballs swimming in a rich broth loaded with vegetables and seasoning. If you can find chayote squash, I recommend using that as it’s more traditional for this soup, but if not then any summer squash will do. I also prefer roma tomatoes, but again any plum tomato will do (or any tomato if it comes to that!).

This is a wonderfully filling and warming soup, great for a weeknight dinner during the colder months.

To make Mexican Chicken Meatball Soup (Sopa de Albondigas de Pollo), you will need the following ingredients:
