- Comments: Whenever my mother comes to visit, I always ask her to make me these albondigas. I have tried to serve them at the restaurant but people cannot seem to get excited about meatballs. Too bad! It's a fabulous soup. My mother always served it with freshly made corn tortillas, salsa casera and refried beans with asadero. Meatballs freeze well and reheat wonderfully.
