How To Cook Spaghetti and Chicken Meatball Soup

Spaghetti and Chicken Meatball Soup Yield: 4 servings Time: 30 minutes Tomato soup meets spaghetti and meatballs in this one-pot, 30-minute crowd-pleaser. To keep chicken meatballs juicy and light, skip the bread crumbs (which can create dense or bland meatballs) and the browning (which can cause precious juices to evaporate). Instead, plop them into the simmering soup to cook through. Any juices they do release will be captured in the tomato soup, which is creamy from olive oil and Parmesan. Feel free to adapt this recipe to suit your preferences: Add chopped onion, crushed fennel seeds, dried oregano or chopped parsley or basil to the meat or the sauce. The pasta will absorb the soup as it sits, so it’s a dish best eaten right when it’s made INGREDIENTS     1   pound ground chicken or turkey 1   cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving 8   garlic cloves, coarsely chopped 1   large egg   Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) ¼   cup extra-virgin...

Reasons why you should watch the premiere 'How I Met Your Father'

'How I Met Your Father'  I went through glad years watching that show, adored quite a bit of how it managed its capable cast, and don't trust in lamenting that time on the grounds that the beguiling reason of its pilot (now and again the individual who is by all accounts your heartfelt perfect partner isn't, however they might in any case be unimaginably unique to you) was double-crossed by its consummation (psych! She really is his heartfelt perfect partner LOL ha). Quite a bit of that show's prosperity lay in what you may very well call its home base energies. Like Living Single and Friends and different sitcoms, it put a lot of individuals - Ted (Josh Radnor), Robin (Cobie Smulders), Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan), and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) - in a lot of rooms doing a lot of odd things, and it looked as they unfurled. Simultaneously, the satire of HIMYM was elevated and somewhat incredible. It's not too known for its hooky, jokey ide...
