Yield Makes 6 to 8 (main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 3/4 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 small bay leaves
5 14 1/2-ounce cans beef broth
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup chunky tomato salsa (medium-hot)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 pound bulk pork sausage
6 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup long-grain white rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 3/4 cups onions, 2 garlic cloves and bay leaves; sauté 5 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes with juices, salsa and 1/4 cup cilantro; bring to boil. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine ground beef, pork sausage, cornmeal, whole milk, egg, salt, pepper, cumin, then remaining 1 cup onions, 2 garlic cloves and 1/4 cup cilantro in medium bowl. Mix well. Shape meat mixture by generous tablespoonfuls into 1- to 1 1/4-inch balls. Add rice and meatballs to soup and bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice and meatballs are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats for your meatballs. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Lean ground beef, ground pork, and ground turkey are all good options.
  • Don't overcook your meatballs. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes per inch.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a good-quality chicken or beef broth, or make your own broth using bones and vegetables.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to your soup. Vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and corn.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of heat with chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Let your soup simmer for a while. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.

Conclusion:

Crock Pot Mexi Meatball Rice Soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
