Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince garlic. Place in a large bowl.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the garlic, setting aside a small handful for serving.

Pick mint leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl.

Add beef, rice, eggs, and spices to the bowl; mix with your hands until well combined. Using a tablespoon measure, form mixture into rounded meatballs and place on a plate. Set aside.

Peel, trim, and small dice carrots. Place in a clean large bowl.

Trim and cut green beans into 1-inch pieces. Add to the bowl with the carrot.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat.

While the pot heats up, peel, halve, and small dice onions. Add to the bowl.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the veggies and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 5-6 minutes.

Add broth, tomatoes, and meatballs to the pot; gently stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.

To serve, divide soup between bowls and top with reserved cilantro. Enjoy!
