Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 -5 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
1 tsp whole cumin seed
1 1/2-2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 (14 1/2 oz) can peeled diced tomatoes, undrained
5 -7 tomatillos , papery skins removed,washed and diced (depending on size)
3 -4 cups water (depending on how much stock you used and how thin you like your soup)
1 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped
1/3 cup white rice
2 -4 carrots, peeled and sliced (depending on size)
salt
pepper
1 lb lean ground beef
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 egg

Directions:

In a dutch oven or other soup pot with tight-fitting lid, saute onion, garlic, celery (optional), and cumin seed in hot oil until onions begin to look clear.
Add broth, tomatoes (with juice), water, tomatillos, and cilantro.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and add carrots and rice.
Make meatballs: Begin by mixing breadcrumbs, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
Knead in ground beef until thoroughly mixed.
Add egg and knead in.
(If needed, add additional breadcrumbs; texture at this point should be slightly firmer than ground beef with nothing added.) Form into small (about 1/2-inch) meatballs.
Bring broth back to a boil.
Add meatballs to hot broth.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes.
