This Mexican Meatball Soup recipe is a godsend for hungry bellies tired of the the standard fare. This meal is almost an event unto itself, and should be used to draft in little hands to shape and make the homemade meatballs before baking. The rest is quite simple, creating the tomato base for the soup and combining in the Thermomix. Make sure you don't leave out the bay leaf as that will bring a flavor you didn't realise you're missing until you forgot it!
