| 1. Use your own judgement on the chiles. I've even cut up dried california chiles and put in cheesecloth (they are too chewy to leave in) and simmered in the soup for an hour when I couldn't find the anchos. If your not sure just add a small can or 2 of diced green chiles or even some hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste. | 2. In a lg. bowl, mix beef, flour, eggs, and 2-3 tablespoons of chicken broth. Add more flour if too mushy. They should be a little wet. Set aside. | 3. In a lg. soup pot, combine remaining chicken broth, beef broth, oregano, onions and chile. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes or longer until your chiles have flavored broth. | 4. Bring soup to a good simmer and quickly shape beef mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and drop into pot as you make them. | 5. Simmer, uncovered skimming off any fat and foam for 5 minutes. | 6. Add carrots, rice and cilantro and continue to simmer uncovered until carrots and rice are tender. (about 20 min.). | 7. Add spinach and cook for 5 more minutes. | 8. Serve with lime wedges. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
