In the back regions of New Mexico and Mexico, albondigas soup was a luxury, enjoyed when you had enough beef. Only a few vegetables were added to pot for flavor. It was mostly meatballs and beef broth. I thank my dear mom in law and her mom for teaching me. Although they are on the other side, I promise to keep the tradition alive.
Ingredients:
2 lbs hamburger
1 onion, chopped
1 cup rice
2 carrots
1/4 teaspoon cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin

2. Mix hamburger with onion, rice, spices, salt, and pepper to taste.

4. Drop into boiling stew, add carrots.
5. Cover.
