So delicious and fun to make
Very satisfying
Sad for my local Mexican restaurant, now I don’t have to go and get it 😊😬

This soup is delicious! it is similar to soup that my husband's aunt used to make. The meatballs are so flavorful.

This came out great and was easy to make. In the interest of time I used packaged Italian meatballs but otherwise followed the recipe. I added a dash more salt and could potentially have kicked it up another notch with cayenne. I also added a mild poblano chili. But very tasty regardless.

Tastes very good. I added extra garlic, mint, sofrito and onion.

This is a simple recipe and easy to change up if you want to. I like mine extra minty so I add more mint and since I enjoy spice I also cut up some jalapeños and add into the mix. The extra spice is just perfect. I don’t use string beans in mine, instead I add potatoes for some extra texture. To each his own.

Great recipe! Prep and cook time took a lot less than I anticipated. Flavors combined well together. This is a great dish for winter and very hearty. Two thumbs up!!

Delish kids loved it!

Delicious! I used cilantro and a bit of oregano in the meatballs instead of the mint. Great recipe to add any veggies you have on hand. Definitely recommend!

Gotta have mint! I added more to the broth, also varied the veggies to what I had on hand. Delicious!!

Very tasty! Skipped the mint- added potatoes and zucchini. Tasted just like Mom used to make back in days
