In a food processor, pulse 1/2 of the cilantro leaves and the green onions until a chunky puree forms. Set aside and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the ground beef, cilantro/green onion puree, whisked egg, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
Use a spring-loaded cookie scoop to form 28 meatballs. Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake in the oven for 12-13 minutes.
Add the avocado oil to a soup pot on medium heat.
Add the carrots and onion and sweat for 5-6 minutes.
Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute, stirring the mixture to prevent it from burning.
Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, chicken broth, spinach, coconut aminos, and the remaining cilantro leaves.
Bring the soup to a boil and remove it from the heat.
Add the meatballs to the soup and serve in bowls.
