Almondigas (Filipino Pork Meatballs Soup)

January 20, 2019 by Manny 2 Comments

Almondigas is an old Filipino soup recipe made from pork meatballs and misua. I’m not sure where this recipe originates but the name of this recipe almondigas is similar to mexican meatballs called “albondigas”. Since I first heard of this recipe I thought it has almonds in it but I’m mistaken. It looks like this is a combination of Spanish and Chinese cuisine because misua is a Chinese thread like noodles used mostly on Chinese dishes. Some recipes includes loofa or patola too but it is upon your discretion whether you will add loofa or not. The almondigas recipe I have here is more on the oriental side because it contains water chestnuts and Chinese mushrooms in the meatballs mixture. It’s up to you again to substitute it with button mushrooms, carrots or turnips if those Chinese ingredients are not available.
