We like spice and we like meatballs, so why not try spicy meatball soup? After all, Gordon's meatballs in coconut broth were to die for (seriously - shame on you if you haven't made those yet). The long list of ingredients for this recipe seemed daunting at first, but it's not so bad once you realize that most of the stuff goes into making those delicious meatballs.
Just like before, we sauteed the onion and garlic with dried chili flakes and combined them with the ground beef, (fresh) breadcrumbs, and milk. And salt and pepper for seasoning. Never forget the seasoning!
Then we shaped them into perfect little golf balls and let them chill in the fridge for a bit. Now that's a nice looking meatball!
To cook the meatballs we sauteed more onion and garlic (it turns out onions are pretty good for you - look it up!) and added cumin seeds for extra flavor.
Time to make the soup! Canned tomatoes, oregano, veggie broth, and smoky chipotles went into the pot to simmer with the meatballs. Chipotles in adobo are my new favorite.
Finally, we threw in the zucchini and sweetcorn (actually, it was creamed corn because I messed up but, so what? Who cares?) and garnished with cilantro, tortilla chips, and jalapenos because, apparently, it just wasn't hot enough.
Mmm. The absence of cheese threw me off a bit, but any soup with crushed tortilla chips on top is okay in my book. This soup does not disappoint.
