Misua with Bola-bola

Almondigas

Almondigas, or Misua with Bola-bola is a meatball soup using a very thin, delicate wheat egg noodle.

The Misua soup is served with meatball or 'bola-bola' that is either cooked separately or dropped in the broth to cook with all other ingredients.

The word Almondiga(also Albondiga) actually means meatball in Spanish, so the name refers more on the meatball ingredient on the dish, rather than the misua noodle.

• Make the meatballs ahead of time and freeze for up to a month, then use whenever you feel like having a nice hot cup of misua soup.
• Use canned or homemade beef broth instead of beef cubes, if available.
• You can add carrots or Patola (Loofa) if you prefer to have vegetables on your soup.
• Misua noodles can make the soup too thick, add some water and bring back to a boil to thin out the soup.
