Prepare Meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, cilantro, garlic, egg, panko breadcrumbs, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear meatballs until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes total). Remove from the pot and set aside.
Make Soup
- In the same pot, sauté diced onions and carrots until onions are translucent (about 3 minutes).
- Add chicken broth and tomato sauce; scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Return meatballs to the pot along with any juices from the plate. Simmer for 20 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and tender.
- Adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot with additional cilantro.
