Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 pinch garlic salt
-
1 pinch onion powder
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
cooking spray
-
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
-
4 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
-
3 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
-
3 potatoes, cubed
Directions
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Place ground beef, 1/2 of the cilantro, 1/2 of the onion, garlic, garlic salt, and onion powder in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; mix gently until combined. Form meat mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
-
Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned all over. Transfer meatballs to a plate and set aside. (Meatballs do not need to be fully cooked since they will finish cooking in the soup.)
-
Cook and stir remaining onion in the same skillet over medium-low heat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions to a large pot.
-
Pour chicken broth into the pot with onions. Stir in carrots, celery, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Add meatballs and remaining cilantro; simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
