For a richer flavor, use homemade tomato sauce. Roasting the tomatoes before blending enhances the depth of the sauce. Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice. Be gentle when forming the meatballs to prevent them from becoming tough. If the broth reduces too much during simmering, add a little more water to maintain the desired consistency. Serve hot with a side of warm tortillas or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth.
