SPICY MEATBALL SOUP image

Some like it HOT; some don't. You may want to adjust the chili. This recipe originated in Honduras. Good with a crisp salad and a crusty bread for a light meal.

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 hard cooked eggs
1/2 c cooked brown rice
1/4 c soft, fine bread crumbs
1/4 c fine chopped green onion
1/4 c fine chopped ripe olives
1/4 tsp rosemary, dried
1 dash(es) cloves

2 c beef broth (i used bouillon)
1 can(s) condensed tomato soup
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 c shredded monterey jack cheese
coarse chopped ripe olives
chopped green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Separate egg yolks from the whites and chop each separately.
  • 2. In a bowl combine crumbled egg yolks, rice, bread crumbs, 1/4 C chopped green onions, 1/4 C chopped olives, and all spices except chili.
  • 3. Add both meats and mix well.
  • 4. Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of mixture for each meatball; wrapping meat around two or three raisins. Set aside on a plate.
  • 5. In a large saucepan, combine broth, tomato soup, and chili; mix well then add meatballs. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
  • 6. Stir in chopped egg whites. Top each serving with cheese, olives and chopped green onions.
  • 7. Cook's Notes: I used sausage,(as that is what I happened to have) which meant a lot of unwanted fat, so I chilled soup overnight to allow fat to rise, then discarded the fat, which made this soup almost fat free. Sour cream also makes a good topping, and helps to cut the heat. There are just the two of us, so there was some left over and it was even better the next day.
