Albondigas is a traditional Mexican meatball soup made with seasoned ground meat meatballs and a flavorful broth with vegetables. Here is a simplified step-by-step guide to making albondigas:

1. Prepare the meatball mixture by combining ground beef with garlic, salt, pepper, onions, masa harina or rice (for binding), and seasonings like cumin and cilantro.
2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. In a large pot, bring chicken broth and water to a boil with garlic. Add the meatballs and cook until they float and are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Sauté onions and diced tomatoes separately, then add them along with rice and vegetables like carrots, potatoes, celery, and zucchini to the broth.
5. Add puréed roasted tomatoes, spices such as cumin, coriander, oregano, and cilantro to the soup. Simmer for about 30 more minutes until everything is tender and flavors meld.
6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot, optionally with lime wedges and warm tortillas.

This yields a hearty, comforting soup with tender meatballs and a savory vegetable broth.
