Recipe of the Week – Mexican Meatball Soup

Mexican Meatball Soup

I guess I owe you all a few recipes as I have been AWOL for a little while.  The NJ trip at Christmas and then closing on a condo on the 30th took me away from the blog and I apologize.  The move is just about complete now and being that I heard ( course nobody hears anymore; more like emailed back and forth, from my old partner Chef Teresa, I thought I would give you her recipe for Mexican Meatball Soup.  I don’t know about where you live but here in “southern” Ohio we had really cold weather and now some snow to boot.

Nothing says comfort like a hot bowl of soup on a gray and cold day.  Chef Teresa brings us this wonderful warming and fulfilling addition to our soup collection.  Serve it up with some crunchy bread or crackers.  It is perfect to warm the soul as well as the body.

Meanwhile, combine ground beef, pork sausage, cornmeal, milk, egg, salt, pepper, cumin, then remaining onions, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 cup cilantro in medium bowl. Mix well. Shape meat mixture by tablespoons into 1 to 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Add rice and meatballs to soup and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
