Love meatball soup? Be sure to also try my Italian meatball soup and turkey meatball soup recipes! They’re sure to hit the spot on a cold night.
It’s always hard for me to get my girls to try new foods, but I’ve found that adding a familiar component to a new recipe makes them more likely to give it a try. My family is meatball crazy so I figured this Mexican meatball soup would be a hit, and it sure was – they even ate the vegetables!
How do you make meatball soup?
I made lean beef meatballs seasoned with Mexican spices to go in this soup, but if you’re pressed for time, pre-prepared frozen meatballs will work. This Mexican meatball soup is also full of lots of colorful vegetables and black beans. It’s like a full meal in one pot! This recipe is moderately spicy due to the canned tomatoes with chiles, but if you’re feeding kids or don’t like a lot of spice, you can substitute regular canned tomatoes.
While this soup is great on its own, it’s even better when you serve it with a variety of fun toppings so that everyone can make their own creations. I serve this soup with tortilla strips, sour cream, diced avocado, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
We eat Mexican food at least once a week and this Mexican meatball soup is a fun change from the standard tacos and quesadillas that are often on our table. I love that it’s quick and easy and uses ingredient staples that I typically have in the house. The weather may be warming up but I never get tired of soup, and this is an exceptionally delicious version! Still hungry?
