A very delicious way to get some Mexican flavours down the hatch, and very comforting and warming as well. YUM, so fragrant you will feel the sombrero

There isn't much that I like better than a good bowl of fragrant hot Mexican-ness. Is that a word? It is now. Think all the flavours you know and love with the goodness of soup and rice and of course cheese and salad, and coriander...oh yum. 

When you’re craving something hearty, comforting, and full of bold flavour, this Mexican Meatball Soup (a.k.a. Albondigas Soup) hits the spot. Packed with juicy, herb-infused meatballs, a rich tomato broth, and plenty of colourful veggies, it’s the kind of bowl that warms you from the inside out. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or just want a cosy one-pot wonder, this is a delicious way to spice up your soup game — no sombrero required.

Mouth watering. Seriously. Do yourself a flavour.
