This albondigas soup recipe was given to me from my mother-in-law. It's definitely one my favorite soups. Honestly, it's better than most restaurants that I've tried.

• 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed (not the fully cooked kind)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 carrot, minced
• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 6 cups chicken broth (I usually use nonfat and low sodium)
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 3 stalks celery, cut in chunks
• 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with nothing added)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
