3 quart(s) beef stock
1/4 cup(s) vegetable oil

Steps:

Fry minced onion and garlic in oil, ( I usually do this in a stock pot or a dutch oven.) add tomatoes and beef stock. Heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook over fairly low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
MEATBALLS FOR SOUP: Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 t. pepper 1 lb. ground pork bread crumbs 1/2 c. raw rice 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 1/2 t. salt DIRECTIONS: Put the ingredients for the meatballs together in a large bowl and mix with hands till well blended. Shape into little balls, not too small, but not too large, give or take about the size of a golf ball or a hair smaller. Drop meatballs into your now boiling broth, carefully. Turn to a low heat when all meatballs are added and cover tightly. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes. Your soup is now ready to serve. Can be served with crackers, but best with flour tortillas.
