ALBONDIGAS SOUP
(Mexican Meatball)
(Mexican Meatball)
This is a traditional soup served at most Mexican restaurants.
It is usually made with sliced carrots, cauliflower, & green beans, and served with tortillas for dipping. To help keep it Low-Carb I've left out the carrots & cauliflower, and made the green beans optional. The tortillas are avoided all together.
