How To Make meatball soup

  • Step 1
    Combine beef, flour, eggs, and 1/2 cup of the broth. Set aside.

    In an 8-quart kettle bring remaining broth, consommé, oregano, onions and chile to boil, reduce heat to low.
  • Step 3
    Quickly shape meat mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diam., and drop into stock. Simmer meatballs, uncovered for 5 minutes, then spoon off any fat and foam from surface.
  • Step 4
    Add carrots, rice and coriander. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until carrots and rice are tender to bite.
  • Step 5
    Meanwhile, discard spinach stems; wash leaves well, then cut crosswise into thin shreds. Add spinach to stock and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes longer. Ladle into wide soup plates or bowls. Pass lime to squeeze over all.
