For the Meatballs
▢ 1/2 lb ground beef
▢ 1/2 lb ground pork
▢ 1/2 cup (loosely packed) finely chopped yerbabuena (sub. With spearmint or mint)
▢ 1/2 cup white rice
▢ 1 tspn salt
▢ 1 tspn smoked paprika
▢ 1/2 tspn black pepper
▢ 1 tspn garlic powder
▢ 1 tspn cumin
▢ 1 canned chipotle, minced
▢ dash of cayenne pepper
▢ 1/4 cup of AP flour
▢ 2 green tomatillos finely diced
▢ 1 garlic clove finely minced
▢ 1 egg

For the Broth
▢ 1 tbsp olive oil
▢ 1/4 onion rough chopped
▢ 1 garlic clove minced
▢ 4 tomatoes rough chopped
▢ Family’s secret not-so-secret ingredient: 1 tbsp of Juquilita Red Mole Paste
▢ 1 tbsp tomato paste
▢ 8 cup beef or chicken broth or 2 cubes of Knor bullion
▢ Salt and pepper to taste
▢ 1/2 tspn dried Oregano
▢ 2 bay leaves

Optional Vegetables
▢ 1 carrot diced
▢ 1 potato peeled and diced
▢ 1 calabacita diced (or zucchini)
▢ 4-6 frozen corn on the cob

Optional Garnish
▢ cilantro chopped
▢ Juice of 1 lime
▢ Avocado
▢ sliced radish
▢ canned chipotle

Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs, stir well to combine, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Heat 1 tablespoons of olive oil to medium heat. Add the onions and season lightly with salt and pepper, sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute. Add the tomato paste, Red Mole Paste and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with broth. Bring up to a boil.
3. While the soup comes to a boil, remove the meatball mix from refrigerator and form meatballs about the 1” to 1 1/2" in diameter (think the size of a golf ball or slightly smaller). When soup is boiling, reduce heat just slightly and carefully drop in the meatballs one by one. Gently stir, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 to 35 minutes.
4. If you’re adding vegetables cook for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and potatoes then stir gently to combine being careful to not break the meatballs. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes. Add the zucchini the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking time. Taste for salt. Garnish soup with lime wedges, radish, avocado, chipotle and fresh cilantro. Serve with warm corn tortillas.
