Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1/3 cup uncooked long-grain rice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 pound ground sirloin beef

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 carrot, cut into rounds (about 3/4 cup)

1 serrano chile, whole

1 Yukon gold potato, skin on, diced (about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

8 cups vegetable stock

2 zucchini, diced (about 1 cup)

Directions

In a heavy large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, rice, cilantro, ground meat, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Using wet hands, shape the meat mixture into 20 to 22 (1-inch) meatballs.
Combine the carrots, serrano chile, potato, tomato paste, and vegetable stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and zucchini and simmer on low heat until the meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
