Eating greens has never been easier! I even snuck in some spinach. This high protein, high fiber, veggie packed soup will be a staple on your fitness journey.
1. Roast the tomatillos, poblano pepper, Anaheim pepper, and 1/2 of the onion using your preferred method. (Air fry at 375° F and let them sit for 10 minutes)
2. Deseed, devein, and remove the skin from the poblano and Anaheim peppers.
3. Blend the roasted vegetables with spinach, 1/4 of the cilantro, 3 garlic cloves, chicken bouillon, and 1/2 cup water.
4. Add a pot of water to the stove and let it come to a boil. Once it is boiled add 2 bay leaves, 6 garlic cloves, and salt to taste.
5. While you wait, grate 1 zucchini, 1/2 of the onion, and finely chop 1/4 cup worth of cilantro.
6. In a large bowl, add ground turkey, egg whites, egg, grated zucchini, white rice, garlic salt, pepper, 3 garlic cloves, oregano, cilantro, and any other seasonings to taste.
7. Combine well and form albondigas. Once they are formed, put them in the fridge.
8. Add the green salsa to the water and mix.
9. After 5 minutes (or once water is boiling), add in the albondigas one by one. Cook for 12 minutes.
10. Chop the vegetables into 1 inch pieces.
11. Add the carrots, chayote, and potato. Cook for 12 minutes.
12. Add the zucchini and frozen green beans. Cook for 10 minutes.
