Mexican Avocado Tortilla Meatball Salsa Soup

This is a good comforting soup.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
2 scallions, chopped
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed, plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt and black pepper
3 cups mild jarred salsa (about 1 1/2 jars, each 16 ounces)
1 avocado, cut into pieces

Directions:
Heat broiler. In a bowl, combine the beef,
scallions, tortilla chips, cilantro, cumin,
½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 24)
and place on a broilerproof baking sheet.
Broil until beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender, puree the salsa with 1 cup water.
Transfer to a large saucepan, add 2 cups water, and bring to a boil.
Add the meatballs, reduce heat, and simmer until
cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes.
Serve the soup with the avocado,
cilantro sprigs, and tortilla chips.
