Meatballs
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 egg
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 tbsp. long-grain rice

Soup
6 cups water

1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano

Directions

For meatballs: Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands. To form meatballs, take 1 tbsp. of the meat and roll into balls, adding flour to hands if needed to prevent sticking.

For soup: Add ingredients to a deep pot. Bring to a boil, then add meatballs. Return to a boil after all meatballs have been added and boil for an additional 5 minutes. Serve in a cup or bowl.
