Last week I woke up craving a warm bowl of soup! There is nothing better than a bowl of homemade soup.
I had some ground meat in the refrigerator, so I thought about making meatball soup and after seeing the beautiful carrots sitting next to them, I decided to make a Carrots and Meatballs Soup. It was light, simple and delicious.
Great one pot meal! Loved it 🙂

Hola! Erica.
Estupenda receta. Me encantan las albondigas, aunque nunca las he tomado así en sopa o tipo consomé. Y la verdad es que siempre viene bien como un primer plato.
Sería posible que pusieras un traductor? Por favor.
Me sería mucho más fácil y cómodo el poder visitarte.
Un beso.
