Super Simple Mexican Meatball Soup

This is a wonderful soup you make using leftover Spanish rice and meatballs from your freezer. For nights when you don't have much time to prepare dinner, this satisfying easy soup recipe will help you put dinner on the table in minutes.

The seasonings in the Spanish rice and the salt in the chicken broth are enough seasoning for me but go ahead and add pepper or some hot sauce to spice the soup to your liking. Great leftover rice soup recipe.

  2. Your soup makes me think of the wonderful albondigas that Steve, but he hasn't made it in ages. I think I need to prod him.

  7. Such an easy recipe - thanks. I will substitute celery leaves for cilantro as I am one of those with the "anti-cilantro" taste buds.
