Soup !

made meatballs for the first time in my life this weekend ! we were watching 30 minute meals sunday morning, and Rachel made Veal Meatballs in a Broccoli Rabe soup. YUM ! We went online and got the recipe, and then when we drove back up to Newton, we went directly to Stop & Shop and got the provisions. I ended up using a recipe from Giada for the meatballs, but they were fantastic ! Stop & Shop sells ground meat already blended - they call it the "meatloaf mix" - ground veal, pork and beef all mixed together. Made the meatballs, made the soup, added them to the soup after they were browned...added some ditalini and some white beans !

fantastic! The best thing since sliced bread lately have been the bags of washed and trimmed rabe from the store. Now if they would only do this with escarole ! Mangia !
