It was a cool autumn’s day and I had a hankering for some soup. I didn’t want anything traditional such as chicken noodle though. Then I though of something unique. Being a fan of spaghetti and meat balls, meatball soup came to mind. What more would warm the bones and sooth the soul. I thought this has to be the ultimate comfort food. I gave it a try and the universe came to life.
