Instructions

  • Make the meatballs: Mix ground beef, uncooked rice, bread crumbs, egg, cumin, garlic powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Start the soup: Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large stockpot over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, form 1 1/2-tablespoon portions of the beef mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  • When chicken broth is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Drop in meatballs and simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and diced chiles; stir in carrots, celery, onion, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Simmer soup until vegetables are cooked and flavors are blended, about 1 hour.
