Caldo de albondigas was a staple soup when I was growing up! Juicy meatballs filled with fresh herbs, veggies, and rice served piping hot with Spanish Rice. Add whatever veggies you like, and make it your own! This was one of the first dishes I learned how to make, and still my favorite comfort meal. Provecho amigos✨
