I made this soup the other day,and really enjoyed it, taking bits from other reviews and adding a few of my own. I made my own beef stock with beef shanks,instead of using the 6 cans of stock. I Removed the shanks before adding meatballs. Because I hate touching raw dround meat ,and don't like rolling meatballs the tip from viewer to make a snake shape roll snip and roll in bowl,worked great making uniform sized meatballs without ever touching my hands!, I also added lots of cilantro, especially fresh cilantro with every serving it really grabs the flavors and brings them out. I only used half a can of the green chile and it was spicy but not overwhelmingly. This recipe makes a big pot, therefore I did not add rice to pot as I knew it would take a few days to eat, we are a family of four and we are still enjoying this soup three days in,we just put it over a fresh bowl of rice everytime.
