NOTES
Vegetarian/Vegan: Replace beef stock with vegetable stock and ground beef with one pound of plant-based ground beef substitute (we liked Beyond Meat's Beyond Beef in this recipe).
DIRECTIONS
For soup: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 3 min. Add garlic and cook an additional minute. Add beef broth, tomato paste, zucchini, carrots, celery, potato, Family Style Fajita Seasoning, and salt. Bring broth to a rolling boil while preparing meatballs.
For meatballs: Place ground beef in a large bowl and mix in rice, cilantro, Family Style Fajita Seasoning, Spearmint, salt, and pepper. Form mixture into 1-inch balls. Add meatballs to boiling broth, one at a time. Boil for 5 min., then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 min. without stirring.
Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce to taste.
