Made this today it’s raining here in California so this was perfect

[@sofias1126]

I’m in California too and I am making this too! ❤

[@tomreyes4423]

What a great idea, adding the rice to the bottom of the bowl before you fill the bowl with albondigas, I've always served it on the side and then added it a little at a time. I can see where the soup would be much hardier and tastier. Thanks for sharing that tip.

[@peac3mak3r87]

Gracias! 🙏 God bless!!! The best recipe I have ever had!!! ❤️💋❤️💋

[@SaltyCocina]

Glad you liked it!!

[@paulalifestyleinaustralia]

Look very delicious

[@dmartin4295]

Yum! I made albondigas last week, but I've never added chipotle peppers. Next time! 😀 And dogs rule in my house 🐶🐕😊

[@justflooreit4me1]

I have been looking for the recipe for that soup for a while. I saved it to my favorites and will make it at a later date. I give my dogs plenty of scraps from the table myself. Is that a schnauzer you have? If not what kind of puppy do you have? If I cannot get that kind of squash. What kind of squash can I use to substitute it with? Thank you for your sharing your talent and your videos. Much appreciated. I wish you and your family health and happiness.

[@SaltyCocina]

Yes, she is a schnauzer and although she loves human food there are certain foods she can’t have. I have two other fur babies, a shitzu and a Maltese. You can substitute with regular zucchini if you can’t find Calabacitas and the chayote can be left out.

[@justflooreit4me1]

@SaltyCocina my wife and I have two rescue Schnauzers. Thank for the responding.

[@luciabriseno4065]

That looks ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋 I LOVE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE. I REALLY LIKE YOUR RECIPES AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ALL THESE IN A COOKBOOK 🤔 PLEASE LET ME KNOW I F YOU DO SO I CAN BUY ONE

[@marciejade1408]

I’m asking albondigas tonight and I forgot the zucchini! So mad, lol. But I add mint and egg but next time I gonna try cilantro and I really am curious on your sauce base. And yes I always feed my dog human food(safely). It tastes better and it makes her happy. ❤

[@brentcollier6558]

THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!! Gonna try it this weekend. Question- 1. Did I hear that you have a cookbook? 2. Where do I get one? 3. I give my dog a little treat sometimes and he's 13yrs old.

Got all the ingredients. Ready to go.

[@francesmelendez3821]

I never heard the amount of ground beef, which is the main ingredient.

[@eduran17]

We followed this to the letter and everything was hard 😢 I don’t know where we went wrong

[@wwsuwannee7993]

This is an easy deluxe recipe..thanks. You know dogs will bring home dead deer heads, rotten opossums and whatever they might find in the woods and eat them. They also eat vomit and shit. They survived for thousands of years off of whatever we gave them before dog food was invented. So don't let some one tell you that the occasional table scrap is bad for them...please.
