Albondegas Soup

I just love Soups during the fall/winter time. My husband served a Spanish Speaking Mission in Arizona and fell in love with different Mexican foods. I learned to make a Mexican Soup from my step mother so it was kind of a perfect fit.

Ingredients:
1-2 lbs Ground Beef (or Ground Turkey, though I find that Meatball don't stick together as well with the lack of grease in the Turkey)
Cilantro (enough for your taste pallet)
2-4 Green onions
salt and pepper for taste
1-2 cups rice (not cooked)
2 eggs

Small can of tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
water

Filler:
Zuchini
Carrots
Potatoes
Onion
Celery
Salt and Pepper
Cilantro

Directions:
In a large cooking pot fill with water a little over half way. Add the tomato sauce, salt and pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boil.
In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, rice and 2 eggs. Mix well. I like to use my hands. Once everything is well combined I take about a golf ball amount and roll into a ball. Add Meatballs to boiling water as you make them. 
Add vegetables and Boil and cook 45 minutes. Check for needed salt and scoop off any foamy fat on top while cooking that forms.
