Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Chop the carrot, potato, onion, and tomato. Sauté them with a few bay leaves and your choice of spices. Cook for a few minutes, then add the tomato puree.
2

Bring to a boil to precook the vegetables.
3

Mix the rice with the ground beef until well combined, then form into meatballs.
4

Prepare a broth by blending the tomatoes, onion, spices, oregano, chipotle, chicken bouillon, pepper, and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
5

Add the meatballs to the prepared broth and add more water as needed.
6

Cook for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have blended. Check and adjust salt as needed.
