Albondigas

To continue with our lackadaisical study of Mexico, we looked through a Mexican food cookbook written with kids in mind.  Pleasingly, the recipes were garbage like chips with Velveeta cheese or simple bean burritos.  The kids decided they wanted to make albondigas or meatballs so Keri, suggested Albondigas soup to up the veggies.  Since the didn't have a soup recipe in the book we were happy to find a recipe that met our families preferred way of eating: Turkey Albondigas Soup from Eating Well.  We went with a less spicy version for the kids.

Real life

They did a great job dumping in ingredients, rolling meatballs, and stirring the soup.  A friend came to visit the next day after we had heated some leftovers for lunch and wanted the recipe based on the aroma alone.
