Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the meatballs
- Zest the lime; cut the lime into wedges for garnish. [Zest 1 lime and cut into wedges; save the remaining lime for another use.]
- Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
- Cut a small corner from your protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the meatball seasoning blend, ½ teaspoon [1 tsp] lime zest, and half the cilantro. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and mix until just combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
2
Brown the meatballs
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pot. Meanwhile, prepare the shallots.
3
Prep the shallots; cook the soup
- Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
In the same pot used for the meatballs, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the shallots and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lemongrass paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, and 1¼ cups [2½ cups] water, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the meatballs and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the carrots are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Working in batches if needed, stir in the spinach; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the soup to individual bowls. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.
