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 🙂

Ingredients

(4-6 servings)

  • 4 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 7 cups chicken or beef stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Color or achiote
  • Fresh cilantro for serving

    • Meatballs

  • 1/2 pound beef and ground pork
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup masarepa(pre-cooked cornmeal)
  • 1 teaspoon sazon goya with azafran

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic, scallions and cook for another 3 minutes.
  2. To make the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients and using your hands, mix well until combined. Divide meat mixture into equal portions and roll into balls with your hands. Place on a plate and set aside.
  3. Add the meatballs, carrots, cumin, color and stock to the pot. Bring to a boil. Then cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium- low and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes.
  4. Add fresh cilantro and serve.

  4. 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.
    SerĂ­a posible que pusieras un traductor? Por favor.
    Me sería mucho más fácil y cómodo el poder visitarte.
    Un beso.

  20. ¡Hola! Erica.
    No entiendo porque me sale Anonimo cuando te dejo algĂşn mensaje.
    El mensaje que está firmado como Anonimo es el mio, soy Empar de:Creandoenlacocina.blogspot.com.
    Me imagino que debe ser porque abro pagina de traductor para poder traducir tu blog y contestar. Tal vez sea por eso.
    Probaré la proxima vez a hacerlo directo sin traducir.
    Un beso.
