This classic Spanish soup combines meatballs-albóndigas (ahl-BON-dee-gahs)and a spicy broth.
Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground round
1/4 cup italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh onion
1/4 cup bottled salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
cooking spray
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped seeded poblano chile or 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup bottled salsa
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup diced peeled avocado
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. To prepare meatballs, combine first 5 ingredients. Shape mixture into 32 (3/4-inch) meatballs; place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 12 minutes or until done. Set aside.
3. To prepare the soup, place the tortilla strips in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup onion, poblano, and garlic; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa and the next 4 ingredients (salsa through tomatoes); reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the meatballs; cook for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Ladle the soup into individual bowls, and top with the tortilla strips, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
