Rich.
In a mixing bowl, mix ground beef,garlic powder,
cumin, oregano and cilantro. Shape into 1-oz meatballs.
In a large pot, saute in the butter, the tomatoes,
chilies, garlic, onions, cabbage, zucchini, and
cilantro. Add the beef broth. Just before the broth
comes to a bil, add the meatballs, one at a time. Add
salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes. Top
with chopped cilantro just before serving.
Note: This is even better the next day.
