spaghetti and meatball soup
I have made this dish many times before. It is an easy and filling dish. Sometimes you want to eat spaghetti but don't want a THICK dish. This is an easy yummy THIN dish. My family loves it. It goes great with any fresh-baked bread. I normally serve it with a side of fresh French bread. There are never any leftovers. Which is always a good thing.
