Ingredients

16 oz Ground Beef
1/3 cup cooked rice
2 clove garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp paprika
1 large egg beaten
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 handful mint leaves
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

For the Soup

1 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion diced
3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic clove minced
6 cup beef broth
16 oz canned diced tomatoes
3 small potatoes chopped (1lb)
1 pinch parsley garnish

Instructions

First, mix all the ingredients for the meatballs into a large bowl. Use your hands to combine well.
Next, divide the mixture into 16 balls, about 2 inches each. Cover with film paper and refrigerate until ready to cook.
To make the soup, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and chopped carrots. Sauté to soften for 5-7 minutes, then add minced garlic and stir for a minute.
Then, add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil for about 10 minutes. Add the prepared meatballs and reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and meatballs are cooked through.
Serve your soup in individual bowls and garnish with fresh parsley on top.
