Tortilla Soup with Chorizo and Turkey Meatballs

Comes together pretty easily.  I thought the chorizo got lost in the mix, but the spouse disagrees.  The tortillas also seemed to disappear into the soup.  Added some bread crumb at the advice of previous reviewers.  Meatballs came together easily. 

My meatballs fell apart because I didn't read the reviews to add breadcrumbs.  However, I left them in large meatball-ish chunks and actually liked it.  We're going low carb, so it worked out well, although if you want them to look like the meatballs in the picture, you'll need some panko.  I also had to use Mexican chorizo (the ground kind) because that's all my store had.  A squeeze of lime at the end was perfect.  oh, and I used a squirt of the tube cilantro instead of fresh. My husband is not a soup guy because it doesn't fill him up, said it was filling.  We will make it again! 

Quick and delicious. Have a hard time finding Spanish chorizo in my local markets, substituted with a dry cured (not refrigerated) italian salami that listed paprika on the ingredients, this seem to work well. Topped soup with a few unsalted tortilla chips and about 1 1/2 tbs. of diced avocado.

I made a double batch and was very glad I did. Very flavorful. I needed 1/2 cup of panko crumbs to get the meatballs to stay together, otherwise I was true to the recipe. Next time I will used diced fire roasted tomatoes and add a squeeze of lime just before serving. DH loved it and wants to have it again soon.

This was very tasty but I needed to add some bread crumbs when making the turkeyballs, other wise they would not take the shape of a sphere. But lovely light tasting soup .

This was very tasty. I don't eat pork so I bought vegetarian chorizo, and the recipe still worked great!

This is a keeper recipe which I will make again and again! It went together pretty quickly and was delicious! I tend to make a lot of soup because it works into our busy lifestyle so when the kids saw I was making "soup again" they groaned but they were pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. All four if us felt it was one if our favorite soup recipes. I wasn't able to buy ground turkey during my shopping trip, so substituted lean ground chicken. I was a bit afraid that this may be too spicy (my daughter doesn't like spicy) but it was well balanced and very flavorful.
