Beef Balls and Bulgur Soup
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot, divided
  • 3/4 pound ground very lean beef
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup bulgur (cracked wheat)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • lime wedges
  • salt
  • 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon hulled cardamom seed
In a 5- to 6-quart pan, combine carrots, broth, seasoning seed, 1/4 teaspoon of the thyme, and 3 teaspoons of the ginger. Bring to boiling on high heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix remaining 1/4 teaspoon ginger with beef, flour, and water. Shape into balls about 1 inch wide.
