"This is a great savory meat and vegetable soup with Mexican spices. I usually throw in some Spanish rice and serve with warm tortillas to dip in. My 4yo DD says it's Go Diego Go Soup. :)"

  1. good recipe I enjoyed it very much I had to adjust the recipe a little bit but other than that it was great.
     
  2. I thought this soup was really good. My daughter and I liked it. My husband thought it tasted too tomatoey, but he is used to his mommys albondigas. I took a bowl to my neighbor and her family was passing the bowl around. I gave it 5 stars because toward the end of the bowl her son started shuffling the last of it in his mouth. Then licked the last drops from the bottom of the bowl. She told me, "He never eats my albondigas like that." Priceless!!! Taking some to my aunt that is recovering from surgery. We'll see what she says :)
     
  3. Great recipe - had to make a few subs because we are snowed on but it was very good. Mostly wanted to thank you how you wrote the recipe - very easy to follow!
     
  4. Very tasty. I cut the chili powder and cumin to 1 tsp each so the kids would eat it. They liked it. Pretty easy, filling soup.
     
  5. ELXCELLENT! I thought this soup kinda tatsed like my boyfriends Nana's! She doesn't use bread crumbs though. She told me to add a hondfull of flour to keep the meatballs together, bread crumbs taste funny to her. So Ifollowed her way on that part! But other than that, YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! I will post a picture of my wonderful soup as soon as it's done cooking! Again thank you for the recipe!

Totally rocked our socks! 4* = Very good, but needs 'something'. 3* = We ate it, tried it anyways. 2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead. 1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it. I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over. ____________________________________________________ ~*~ Cooking Tag Games ~*~ <img
