Mexican Meatball Soup

Comforting dinner for the whole family, this Mexican Meatball Soup is easy and has all the qualities of a crowd-pleaser. Full-sized meatballs made from ground beef are simmered in a savory roasted tomato broth for an easy and delicious winter soup. Serve with rice or beans and warm corn tortillas for an authentic Mexican dinner.

This recipe is quick, easy, and so delicious. Start by roasting the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a hot griddle. Once the veggies are roasted, place them in a blender and purée until smooth. Add the puréed tomato mixture to a hot saucepan and bring it to a boil. In the meantime, prepare the meatballs. I like to keep the add-ins for the meatballs simple. Garlic, black pepper, a slice of white bread soaked in milk, and egg. Roll the meatballs and carefully drop them into the simmering tomato broth. Once the meatballs are almost cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve and enjoy!

To make the Mexican Meatball Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Mexican Meatball Soup

1	Roast tomatoes, onion, and garlic	5
On a hot ungreased griddle, place 1 pound tomatoes, ¼ white onion, and 1 garlic clove. Roast, turning occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
2	Blend	2
Once the veggies are roasted, place them in a blender and process until smooth. If the tomatoes aren’t juicy enough, add ¼ cup water to ease the blending process.
3	Heat oil and add roasted tomato mixture	5
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and gently pour in the prepared roasted tomato mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes.
4	Add chicken broth	2
Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.
5	Make meatballs: Soak bread	1
In the meantime, make the meatballs. In a small bowl, add 1 slice of bread and ¼ cup milk. Soak the bread until softened, about 1 minute.
6	Place meat in mixing bowl	1
To a large bowl, add 1 pound ground beef and make a well in the center.
7	Grind garlic and peppercorns and combine ingredients	2
Grind 1 garlic clove and 6 peppercorns in a mortar and pestle. Add garlic peppercorn mixture to the meat, as well as the bread soaked in milk and 1 large beaten egg. Season with salt to taste.
8	Mix	1
Gently mix the meatball mixture with your hands or a wooden spoon. Do not over mix.
9	Shape meatballs	3
Gently form the meatballs (the size of a golf ball) with your hands.
10	Add meatballs to sauce	2
Carefully drop the meatballs into the simmering tomato broth.
11	Cook meatballs	15
Cook the meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes.
12	Add cilantro
5 minutes before the meatballs are done cooking, add in ¼ cup chopped cilantro.
13	Serve
Serve with rice or beans and warm corn tortillas for an authentic Mexican dinner.
