A comforting and flavorful soup filled with tender meatballs, vegetables, and a rich broth, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix the meatball ingredients: in a large bowl, combine ground meat, rice, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Work the mixture with your hands until well blended, then form it into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
  2. Bring the chicken broth to a vigorous boil in a large pot. This will serve as the beautiful base for your soup.
  3. Carefully add the meatballs to the boiling broth. Let them cook for about 10 minutes, and watch as they rise to the surface, signaling they are almost ready!
  4. Toss in the diced carrots, zucchini, and the can of diced tomatoes once the meatballs are lightly cooked. These fresh veggies will elevate the soup with vibrant textures and flavors.
  5. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and the meatballs are fully cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. Your kitchen will soon be filled with an irresistible aroma!
  6. Stir in the cilantro just before serving for that extra burst of flavor. Dish up the completed soup into bowls, and get ready for an experience that warms the soul.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread or warm tortillas. A simple green salad enhances the meal. For storage, leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
