Murders" by Nancy Pickard and Virginia 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.
