Today finally felt like the first day of fall. Temperatures fell in the low fifties (can you believe yesterday was in the 80s?!), the winds were blowing from the north, and clouds were hanging low just for the fun of it. It just felt like the perfect soup weather. So, I looked through my fridge and pantry to see what I could use to make soup. The result–a new recipe and one we will definitely make a gain–my own version of Spaghetti Soup. Yum! Everyone in the family even asked for seconds, pure signs of a good meal.

For the breadsticks, I used this recipe from Little Indiana which we loved! For the butter topping I mixed 6 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic power, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, brushed them on the completed breadsticks. Although not necessary, I then put them back in the oven for a couple of minutes to let them brown a little before serving. They tasted fabulous! I almost thought we were at the Olive Garden or something. Enjoy!
