This is my mother's Sonoran recipe which has been in the family for years! We have enjoyed it for years and it is very cost effective! Some people add fresh veggies but we never have in our family recipe.

I'm not a big fan of soup, but this one is an exception. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and savory. I will definitely be making this again.
