Ablondigas Inspired Meatball Soup

Made for "Cooking For Keni"

I've made this before, but with a ton of changes, so I made again, trying to follow the recipe as closely as I could :) Used all ground beef and homemade cornbread. Didn't have ground pasilla peppers, but I did have ground Aleppo pepper, so I threw that in. For the hot peppers I used (2) 4oz. cans of mild dice green chile peppers and had shallots on hand so used those. Made some homemade enchilada sauce as well, which I cooked down quite a bit trying to get it to thicken so it was pretty dark, but delicious! Not sure what Mexican pasta is, but in the picture it looks like she had used some kind of short type of spaghetti noodle? Anyway, I had some orzo, so that's what went in. Served topped with the cotija, cilantro and avocado. Delicious and I am so glad there are plenty of leftovers! Keni left a good one :) Added a new picture.

Wow, nice photo, Mommyluvs! That looks too hot and spicy for me, but, with his cast iron stomach, my husband would love it!

That looks super yummy Michelle! I never have cornbread and I'm not that fond of it anyway so if I do make this I'll just switch out the cornbread crumbs for regular bread crumbs and I'm sure that'd work fine. Don't think I've seen cojita cheese either. I'd have to go looking. I think I'd love this. Lucky you to have leftovers!

That looks beautiful! I'd have to sub a lot of things to make this as well, but it sure sounds flavorful! :)

Thanks everyone! I think any cheese would be fine Janet if you can't find the cotija. It comes in a big rectangle block, and I never use it in time before it goes bad, but this time my mission is to try and use it all lol :P

Great photo, Mommyluvs2cook! I haven't made Ablondigas soup, but it's been on my list for a long time. This one looks very spicy! You scared me with the Keni challenge. I wrote it down for February so I had to go back and re-read your post. Whew! Good idea to have a month long cooking challenge.

Lol DIZ! Originally it was "Keni Cooking Day" and we picked one day and everyone cooked on that day. Then last year we went to a weekend, but now with so many people I think a month is the way to go..and I think more people will attend that way too :)
