This dish is commonly referred to as Mexican meatball soup. Caldo de Albondigas, like many other Latin American dishes derived from Spanish cuisine, is popular in other countries throughout the region. The Paraguayan version will most certainly whet your appetite.

Caldo de Albondigas is made up of two parts: meatballs and broth. The former is made with minced pork, eggs, and rice, whereas the latter is made with tomato sauce, chopped vegetables, and spices. Cook both of them together thoroughly and serve with a spicy sauce.
