Mexican Meatball Soup
I think everyone could use a bit of comfort food. I made my favorite soup tonight for dinner. I’ll post the recipe below. It’s very easy to make, start to finish only 30 minutes. You probably have everything you need at home, but if not they are all easy to find ingredients. It feeds 6-8. You can freeze the rest if needed. #koodekereats
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups of water
1 32 oz carton of beef broth
1 cup stewed Mexican Tomatoes ( if you don’t have, use two chopped tomatoes.)
1 4oz can diced green chilies (optional, if you don’t have chop up a jalapeño and add. Be sure to omit the seeds, it’ll be too spicy)
1 lb ground beef
Salt & pepper to taste
2 Tbs Flour
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (it’s ok if you don’t have it. Just be sure to use S&P in your flour mixture)
