Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step

While the water is heating, in a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, egg, oregano, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and cumin. Mix thoroughly until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Gently roll each meatball in the flour, ensuring they are fully coated. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully drop the flour-coated meatballs into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, allowing the soup to simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. (45 minutes)

06

Step

If the soup becomes too thick, add more water to reach your desired consistency. Add the cubed potatoes to the soup. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Continue to simmer for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. (60 minutes)

08

Step

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed to enhance the flavors.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the soup.
Add other vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, or celery for a more complex and nutritious soup.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra layer of flavor.
Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired soup consistency.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the meatball mixture.
