1. In a large pot over high heat, boil the water. Add bouillon cube, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin and salt. (I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon of each, give or take. I just dump a little in my palm and call it good!)

2. To the boiling broth, add tomato sauce, carrots, potatoes and rice.

3. In a separate bowl, mix all meatball ingredients and shape. Drop meatballs one at a time into the soup pot (I usually do this as I'm making them).

4. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender and rice and meatballs are fully cooked. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and juice from lime wedges.
