Albondigas Soup is a Mexican style meatball soup made with homemade meatballs, rice and vegetables in a spiced tomato-based broth. It's healthy and delicious one pot meal!
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter or oil over medium-high heat. When pot is hot, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 min, until slightly softened. Add half the rice (¾ cup), half the chili powder (1 tablespoon) and garlic. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 30 sec, until fragrant.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add turkey, remaining chili powder (1 tablespoon), remaining rice (¾ cup) and three-quarters of the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
To the pot with veggies and rice, add chicken broth, corn, marinara sauce, and soy sauce. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, use a spoon or scoop to form 16 meatballs and carefully add to the broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 20-25 min, until rice is tender and turkey is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Plate albondigas soup with a dollop of sour cream over top. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Enjoy!
