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.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve this spaghetti and meatball soup with a piece of bread or garlic knots for a satisfying meal. The taste has everything you love about spaghetti and meatballs. Mini meatballs browned in the traditional Italian style that adds more flavor to them. Then, they simmer in a mixture of marinara sauce, tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and water. The spaghetti is also cooked in the sauce, so the tomato flavor is infused throughout the soup. We enjoyed this soup.
