Steps

90 mins

1

Fill a large pot halfway with cold water. Add 1 can of tomato sauce. Cover pot, set stove to high, and bring to a boil.
2

Mix ground beef (uncooked), egg, rice, 1 can of tomato sauce, and seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
3

Use your hands to further mix ingredients and shape/roll into 1" meatballs.
4

Once the broth is boiling, add salt and garlic salt to the broth, to taste. Then, carefully plop the meatballs into the pot one at a time. Cover pot and leave to simmer on medium-low for 30 min.
5

While the meatballs are simmering, peel and chop potatoes, carrots, and any other vegetable you'd like to add to the soup. Chop the pieces into medium sized chunks (if they're too big, they won't cook right; if they're too small, they'll dissolve)
6

After the meatballs have simmered for 30 min., add the veggies to the broth. Let simmer on medium low for 45 minutes.
7

Check that the soup is done by trying to poke a fork through the veggies. It should go in easily. If it doesn't go in easily, continue to let it simmer and check it every 15 minutes until it is done.

Pour yourself a bowl, squeeze some lime in (optional). Enjoy!
