MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP, GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD, & BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Happy Thursday!

We are quickly approaching the last two soups for the spring season. And before we part for summer, I am making one more meatball soup because I cannot resist one of my regular customers who always asks me for more MEATBALLS (you can stop harassing me, Chris)!!

The menu for TUESDAY, MAY 5th features MEXICAN MEATBALL SOUP, GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD, & BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Mexican Meatball Soup, known as Albondigas Soup, is a traditional soup made with juicy, herb infused meatballs, loaded with veggies, and simmered in a bold, aromatic tomato broth.

The soup begins with assembling the meatballs, which are made with ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg and tons of spices. They are baked in the oven to intensify their flavor.

Meanwhile, onions, diced carrots and zucchini are sauteed in olive oil in the pot. Next, homemade chicken stock, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and spices are added. Once the soup comes to a boil, the meatballs, black beans, and corn are dropped in. After the soup simmers, it's garnished with fresh cilantro.

The bread companion this week is my GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD. The bread features the delicious flavors of the Southwest ...smoky, slightly spicy roasted green chiles and creamy cheddar cheese. It's a perfect companion for this soup!

This week's menu features BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Our cookies are rich, nutty, and perfectly chewy, made with slow-browned butter and loaded with premium chocolate chips for that warm, indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth bite. - Payton from Baked by Brown Butter
