1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85 percent lean)
1/3 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more leaves for serving

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup with tofu instead of beef. It was still very flavorful and delicious. I also added some chopped spinach and kale to the broth, and it gave it a nice extra boost of nutrients.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can adjust the spiciness to my liking by adding more or less chili powder.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Mexican soup he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
