Winter is the perfect season for soups and today I will be sharing with you my albondigas recipe. Albondigas is a meatball soup that has a few variations as it can be made with ground chicken, turkey, pork or beef. Today I used ground pork since that is what I had on hand but you can use whatever meat you would like to. This is the perfect dish to keep your family warm during the cold. Enjoy!
