red chile flakes to taste (or 2 tsp chili pwd) ~

3/4 Lb spinach (I usually omit)
1 Can 14 oz chopped tomato~

combine meat, flour, eggs and 1/2 cup broth (or less. I'd only use what was needed).. in a soup pan bring remaing broth and spices to boil. reduce heat to low.. quickly shape meat mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter; as you shape them drop into the stock. Simmer meatballs uncoveres for 5 min. then spoon off any fat and foam from surgace. add other ingredients except spinach. simmer uncovered for 20 min. until carrots and rice are cooked. Add spinach and cook uncovered 5 min. longer. Can serve with a bit of lime to squeeze into individual servings.
