This traditional Mexican albóndigas soup features tender meatballs simmered in a lightly spicy, tomato-rich broth with plenty of vegetables. It reminds me a bit of Italian wedding soup, with its mix of meatballs, broth, and veggies, but the smoky depth from chiles and tomatoes gives it a personality all its own.
