Number Of Ingredients 24

MEATBALLS:
1 pound groud beef
1 large egg, whisked
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
SOUP:
1 tablespoon bacon fat/lard or olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
7 cups chicken or beef stock
2 zucchini, sliced
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Dash cayenne pepper (optional)
TOPPINGS:
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 avocados, sliced

Steps:

  • Meatballs: Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix by hand until well combined and then form meatballs (you should have about 20). Set aside. Soup: Place a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon fat or tallow and allow to heat up. Add the onion,garlic, celery and onion and saute for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for about 5 minutes. Add the meatballs to the soup, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve with a side of cilantro and sliced avocado. Cook's note: This soup freezes well, so you can make a big batch and keep it in smaller containers for leftovers whenever you don't have time to cook or want something quick and easy to eat. This recipe calls for all ground beef, buy a mixture of half beef and half chorizo is also delicious and adds another depth of flavor to the soup. You can experiment with whatever vegetables you like best, and adjust the seasonings to suite your taste.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

The meatballs in this soup were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use a different recipe for the meatballs next time.

The meatballs in this soup were a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time.
