I'm so excited to share my latest soup obsession with you - this soup is food for the soul! It's a meatball and vegetable soup (very similar to albondigas, which is a Mexican meatball soup). Let me know what you think! XO - Dani
It is so funny that you mentioned that it is similar to albondigas!! That was going to be my first comment, lol. Growing up in Northern California, my Mom would make albondigas alot. My kids love it. I'm sure they will love this healthier version also.
It reminds me a lot of a Mexican meatball soup called “Albóndigas”. My favorite soup growing up . Similar ingredients, we add fresh mint herbs to it and it’s amazing .
This is what so many Mexican kids come home to on cool day…lovely memories! Anytime my daughter has a cold or feels she needs something comforting she asks for albóndigas. I actually still request these from my mom because mom’s cooking is always a joy
It’s what mom made alll the time when we were growing up! Traditional Mexican family with 7 kids! She still makes it. It’s one of my all time favorite soups she makes for us ❤️
We had something like this when I was a kid but we couldn't afford fresh vegetables for 11 people. Mom used canned vegetables and it was yuk. Interested in trying this recipe because of all the vegetables. Still expensive on a limited budget but looks like it might make four or five meals. Thank you. I can smell it cooking now.
I made this soup but instead of cabbage used spinach at the last 5 minutes. Also since I don’t like cilantro added oregano and also Parmesan cheese. So good. Thanks for all your recipes. I have made many and always love how the dishes turn out. Always delicious.
It similar to our Iraqi rice meatball soup. We add thyme and mint to our rice meatball. We use any vegetables on hand like eggplant, zucchini, carrot, turnip and swiss chard. Every time I don't know what to make this recipe comes to my mind. It is that good and easy :)
Thank you Dani for your beautiful recipes. They are well laid out and thoughtfully curated. You are also a great teacher with a warm and soothing voice. I have used many of your recipes and they are awesome. I send you and your beautiful family good vibes. Keep on shining!
My family and I love this kind of soup. We didn’t grow up eating it, but had it at friends homes occasionally and began making it several years ago. I will add the cauliflower rice as you did to the meatballs now. Thank you for the good idea!
Yes! I'm making your turkey butternut squash soup again at this very moment and making your stuffed pepper soup again on Sunday! Easiest meal prep. Thank you!
OMG! I made this soup tonight! I used plant based meatballs and homemade veggie broth. Amazing results! I love this recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing! Guys/Gals make this one! So so good! It makes so many servings and it’s inexpensive! Knocked but out of the park with this one! Love it 😍
Perfect timing. I’m under the weather, praying not as serious as may be G-d forbid. Basically on purées. Friends making me puréed turkey soup but extremely bland. So I’m using your recipe sans meatballs & cabbage. Love cilantro (mint too!) so this is all veery inspiring. Deepest gratitude for this & all your terrific videos & content!!Wishing you all well🙏🌿💕
O my goodness golly I made your Meatball VEGETABLE soup April 29th and it is so fabulously delicious...it makes so much for 2 people...I'll have to cut the recipe in half...but I'm definitely enjoying it now!!!!!!! Thanks so very much for sharing this awesome recipe... Everyone have a blessed and joyful week!!!!!!!
We serve in our home a Mexican soup similar to this called Albóndigas 😋. We don’t add cabbage or zucchini though; these two veggies however, we do add them to our chicken soup. Gotta try your version, looks delicious 🤤 🙋🏻♀️💕
Thanks for sharing! When I lived in CA my hubby and I would go to a local Mexican restaurant and they made the BEST chicken soup which also had cabbage and zucchini. SO good!
This is a beautiful version! I love the veggie combination used here. My mom’s albóndigas version from México, City and Michoacán is quite a treat. She adds real rice and a small piece of egg in the center. Also epazote, a special prehispanic herb. It’s a magical dish.
We had this a few nights ago. It was so good! Next time I'll put the veggies in at different times...carrots with the meatballs, cabbage, then zucchini for just a few minutes.
we grew up with my mom making this soup. She got it from our mexican grandma who got it from her mom . 🥰 It's called albondigas! they always made it with ground turkey and ground pork meat combined. It is soooo yummy and very cozy! 🥰
I do it very similar with grass fed beef and Turkey same veggies but also add chayote , I instead of cilantro I add fresh mint and oregano. We love them.
Don’t really like cilantro, but after making this soup discovered I LOVE cilantro! I made this with turkey and added the cauliflower rice but it wasn’t sticking. I added bread crumbs, just enough to bind. This soup is a 10 thumbs up. So good. My family loves it too.
Savory & Yummy! Perfect for the winter storm that's coming in this evening. I cut the recipe in half, as I was cooking only for me, and substituted with bison, beef broth & parsley. I will cook this soup recipe again. It's so easy!
Thank you, Dani, I love your recipes and the healthy eating ideas. The vegetables prep is brilliant, I'm lazy to cut up a salad often and now to have them all ready in the fridge is a great idea !
As an Italian, watching you make the meatballs then cook garlic, onions, & tomato together was extremely satisfying! ❤ PS: I'd alter this by adding a tablespoon or two of Italian seasoning or just some basil & oregano. =)
I can't wait to try this recipe - I'm a big time soup lover! Especially right now with our chilly Northeast weather keeping us indoors. I'm also one of the small percentage of people to whom cilantro tastes like soap. 🤷🏻♀️ I'll be trying the mint substitute - it sounds delicious!
I’m Hispanic and we have a version of this soup called Sopa de Albóndigas👍🏼 your version looks so delicious 😋 thank you for the recipe. I will definitely make this soon !
The soup was wonderful: light flavor because I used turkey Italian sausage. I don’t do zucchini, so I used turnip. The meatball recipe makes more than enough for the soup, so I’ll replenish the soup with more meatballs over the next day or two.
It's taste amazing!!! I did have to switch the beef for veggie meatballs and beef broth for homemade vegetable broth cause family and I are vegan. Veggie meatballs worked great with this recipe. Thanks lady🙂🙂
I’m so glad you mentioned a company in Jersey that has great quality meat. I get Butcher Box and I have been wanting to try a local company but wasn’t sure about how good it would be. Definitely will check them out!! Stay safe in the storm!! I’m excited for it!!
I was SO excited to find this farm. And while I love Butcher Box - they source from all over the world. Cattle Cotton Co - is just this one local farm and I found the meat to be notably delicious! Let me know what you think if you give them a try.
I was so excited to make this which I did today. I was a little disappointed with the flavor. My suggestion is to make her Baked meatballs with cauliflower rice and add to the soup. Boiling the meatballs drains all of the flavor. Also, I swapped the zucchini for mushrooms. I will make this again, but I'll probably bake or fry the meatballs beforehand and add more seasonings to the meatballs.
absolutely fabulous soup , thank you! Souper bowl Sundays with Clean and Delicious, your recipes are all so great and easy. thank you so much. Hugs from Goetzingers on Haida Gwaii
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You are the first person to have made nutritious eating so pleasurable and exciting for me because of recipes like this. You're changing my life for the better Dani and I am truly grateful.
Nice i will cook this tonight. i love onions and i put it in everything but i hold off on the onions because it takes away the true sweetness from the carrots 🥕 and the cabbage. Thank you for sharing this very delightful soup recipe.
Wow my family loves this soup. I used elk to make the meatballs and they are so delicious. More soup recipes please. Thank you, Dani! Cheers from Canada. 😀
Yum 😋 Dani!! I'll be sharing with my Mama and friends. I do buy grass-fed ground beef myself, and Love Cilantro ❤️ I'm big on Organic. Thank you so much for sharing your Delicious Meatball Soup. A forsure Winner! 😊
If you use an ice cream scoop (desired size), your meatballs will be more uniform in size and the process is faster, too. :-) Also, I mix my meatball mixture in a mixer using the paddle and it's mixed in 5 seconds! Try it.
OMG genius idea to use the cauliflower rice as the binder!!! I'm totally on board with your reco to use grass fed ground beef as a healthier option, I also like to use cage free eggs. BTW your description doesn't have the recipe or links to the recipe, could you add?
As I watched further into the video, this is more of a mix of albóndigas and caldo de res. Lol love them both. I will have to make this and might even add chayote.
I'm generally not a fan of ground meat, but this soup looks too yummy to pass up. I'm going to try it with some ground chicken or turkey. For the snowy weekend we're expecting here in Philadelphia, I'm making your chili con carney.
I'm so excited to share my latest soup obsession with you - this soup is food for the soul! It's a meatball and vegetable soup (very similar to albondigas, which is a Mexican meatball soup). Let me know what you think! XO - Dani

Yep those are a healthy version of albondigas love it.
We only eat grass fed beef. I made the soup today. It's not greasy. It's delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Can i use panko instead if cauli rice???
Looks yummy 😋. I like your videos. Do you have a recipe for this soup?
It reminds me a lot of a Mexican meatball soup called “Albóndigas”. My favorite soup growing up . Similar ingredients, we add fresh mint herbs to it and it’s amazing .
The idea of adding fresh mint sounds SO deeeelicious.
Yes family recipes are so special 🥰 especially passing them down to our next generation💕
Exactly why I clicked the video it made me crave albondigas XD
Me too! Mom is gone (and so is her original recipe). Been making my own version. Dani, I'm sure, will make an amazing version! Thanks!!!
I agree that it is much like albondigas. I don't usually put cabbage, though that is a nice addition. ❤️
This is what so many Mexican kids come home to on cool day…lovely memories! Anytime my daughter has a cold or feels she needs something comforting she asks for albóndigas. I actually still request these from my mom because mom’s cooking is always a joy
It’s what mom made alll the time when we were growing up! Traditional Mexican family with 7 kids! She still makes it. It’s one of my all time favorite soups she makes for us ❤️
Lucky kids!!
Hello how are you?

Interested in trying this recipe because of all the vegetables. Still expensive on a limited budget but looks like it might make four or five meals. Thank you. I can smell it cooking now.
I dont even know anymore if Im watching for the food or just to see you again. Thanks for all the amazing recipes.
I made this soup but instead of cabbage used spinach at the last 5 minutes. Also since I don’t like cilantro added oregano and also Parmesan cheese. So good. Thanks for all your recipes. I have made many and always love how the dishes turn out. Always delicious.

Yes! I'm making your turkey butternut squash soup again at this very moment and making your stuffed pepper soup again on Sunday! Easiest meal prep. Thank you!
Amazing! Enjoy them both.
Wonderful soup that offers lots of body, great veggies for winter, and I can feel the warmth.
It's like a hug in a bowl... SO good!
***MAKE. THIS. SOUP***
It was supremely delicious! Will definitely be a staple in my soup recipe collection.

I love hearing that, Donna!! Enjoy this one.
I just finished making the meatball soup & it's delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe with all of us!
This is definitely part of my favorites now, I was shock to hear all my kiddos and hubby give compliments!

Yum! Love that.
Thank you, Dani, I love your recipes and the healthy eating ideas. The vegetables prep is brilliant, I'm lazy to cut up a salad often and now to have them all ready in the fridge is a great idea !
Thanks Dani! This soup looks amazing! I find it really hard to find healthy GF recipes to manage my Celiac Disease. Please keep them coming!
Hi Dani this soup is delicious Thank you for all you do in helping people eat better. Your cooking tips and recipes are so needed and appreciated.
As an Italian, watching you make the meatballs then cook garlic, onions, & tomato together was extremely satisfying! ❤
PS: I'd alter this by adding a tablespoon or two of Italian seasoning or just some basil & oregano. =)

In Philippines - Almondigas 🇵🇭🇩🇪😋
Love all your recipes, u have such high quality healthy ingredients
Thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying them.
The soup was wonderful: light flavor because I used turkey Italian sausage. I don’t do zucchini, so I used turnip. The meatball recipe makes more than enough for the soup, so I’ll replenish the soup with more meatballs over the next day or two.
Italian wedding soup same with meatballs, chicken, and escarole with veggies. Been around for years.
It's taste amazing!!! I did have to switch the beef for veggie meatballs and beef broth for homemade vegetable broth cause family and I are vegan. Veggie meatballs worked great with this recipe. Thanks lady🙂🙂

I made this soup for dinner tonight. It got rave reviews from my family. This soup recipe is a keeper! Thanks, Dani.

the meatball soup looks delicious. I remember meatballs from Indonesia called bakso. must be just as delicious
Super excited to try this. Does it freeze well or not? Thanks for the fab recipe.
Definitely going to try this one! My family loves soups. Looks delicious. ❤️
Thanks Dani, I made the soup, my home smells great 👍
Made this today and omg! 😋 So glad you shared this recipe.
Making this today...been waiting on a soup like this...thank you:)
You are so welcome! Enjoy it. It's SO good.
I made this soup and it is good but would suggest low sodium beef stock as I could it pretty salty. Love ur channel!
I recently made your ground turkey butternut squash chili (I cooked it in my slow cooker instead) it was absolutely delicious... Thank you for sharing
Looks great ! Can't wait to try it ! I have a tiny freezer compartment though so I can't keep cauliflower rice. What would be a good substitute?
Dani ! You're the Best ! I can tell it's delicious !! I can't wait to make it !!!
As I watched further into the video, this is more of a mix of albóndigas and caldo de res. Lol love them both. I will have to make this and might even add chayote.
Looks amazing and I am sure it tastes as good! Love dishes like this these days 😍
Yes we are soup lover family .
Thanks for the recipe👏👏
🍜🌠
It's my pleasure! We are as well! enjoy this one.
You get my heart💕💕💕💕
Nice feeling to be seen🌹⭐️🌠
I made the soup. I don’t know what I did wrong but my meatballs fell apart 😭. I used canned tomatoes. It’s delicious!
Made this soup today!! It is Wonderful!! Love it 😀
I'm generally not a fan of ground meat, but this soup looks too yummy to pass up. I'm going to try it with some ground chicken or turkey. For the snowy weekend we're expecting here in Philadelphia, I'm making your chili con carney.
Ooooh, enjoy the chili! That's another personal favorite for me.
Definitely making this! I'm allergic to eggs though. Appreciate any alternate suggestions to bind the meatballs together please. Thank you!
The combination of milk and breadcrumbs could work!
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Thanks so much!
