My Low-Carb Albondigas Soup
This is one of those comforting, flavorful soups that doesn’t need to be complicated. I like to use whatever vegetables I have on hand, so feel free to make it your own. My albondigas are also made without rice, which keeps them low-carb, but you can certainly add rice to your meatballs if that’s how your family enjoys them.
For the Soup
1 yellow onion, chopped
A little olive oil, for sautéing
2 Anaheim peppers
Chicken-tomato bouillon seasoning, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
Water, enough to make your desired amount of broth
1 zucchini, chopped
1 large carrot, sliced, or 1 small bag rainbow baby carrots
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 tomatoes on the vine, chopped
For the Albondigas
2 lbs. 80% lean ground beef
1 egg
Chicken-tomato bouillon seasoning, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
For Serving
Fresh cilantro
Prepare the Anaheim Peppers
Air fry the Anaheim peppers until the skins are blistered and begin to pull away from the peppers. Allow them to cool enough to handle, then peel away the loosened skins. Chop the peppers and set aside.
Make the Soup
In a large soup pot, sauté the chopped yellow onion in a little olive oil until it begins to soften.
Add water and season with chicken-tomato bouillon, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Add the chopped Anaheim peppers, zucchini, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. Bring everything to a boil and cook for about 10–15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to begin to soften and all those wonderful flavors to come together.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare your albondigas.
Make the Albondigas
Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Add the egg and season with chicken-tomato bouillon, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Mix everything together well, then roll the mixture into small, bite-size meatballs. I like making mine into little mini albondigas so you get plenty in every bowl.
Carefully add the meatballs to the boiling soup. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are completely cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings if needed.
To Serve
Ladle the hot albondigas soup into bowls and add plenty of fresh cilantro right before eating.
Serve warm and enjoy!
A Little Note: I leave the rice out of my albondigas to keep this recipe low-carb. If you prefer traditional albondigas with rice, you can always add some to your meatball mixture. And don’t be afraid to change up the vegetables—this is a wonderful soup for using whatever you already have on hand.
