Get a taste of Mexican at dinner time by trying this mouth-watering healthy soup.
Albondigas Soup, otherwise known as meatball soup is a traditional Mexican meal. Rich with the flavours of hearty vegetables and herbs and spices, it's definately a favourite on a cold rainy day. The soup is distinctive because of the chopped mint leaves that are added to it, however you can replace it with cilantro if there is none at hand as we did here.
