Garlic Meatball Soup with Angel Hair Pasta • Serves 6 to 8
- Roasted Garlic Meatballs or Chorizo Meatballs (links are at the end of this recipe)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper in a mill
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 or 2 serranos, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth or stock
- 5 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and minced (when tomatoes are out of season, use 1 28-ounce can, preferably Muir Glen, diced tomatoes)
- 6 garlic cloves, julienned
- Zest of 2 limes, minced or grated
- 12 ounces dry capellini
- 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
- Lime wedges
- Make the meatballs and set them aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot set over medium-low heat, add the onion and sauté until it is limp and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add the garlic and serranos and sauté 2 minutes more.
- Stir in the chicken broth or stock and the tomatoes, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, simmer 10 minutes, add the garlic julienne and lime zest and simmer 2 minutes more.
- Carefully add the meatballs and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Taste the broth and correct the seasoning
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt and the capellini and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly but do not rinse. Divide the pasta among individual warmed soup bowls or put it into a soup tureen. Ladle the broth and the meatballs over the pasta, sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.
