Make the meatballs: Mix all ingredients and shape into 3/4"
|
meatballs. Bring the broth to a low simmer and add the vegatables.
|
Add the meatballs and top them with the paste. Cover and simmer over
|
low heat for 30 minutes. Serve hot in bowls, with tortillas. Note: I
|
like to make my own beef broth for all recipes, but particularly for
|
this one, as it needs a rather strong broth. This recipe is from the
|
book False Tongues and Sunday Bread, by Copeland Marks. Barb Day
