Nonnie’s Spaghini Stick-to-your-ribs Soup

It is significant that we are described as being slightly lower than the angels rather than being slightly higher than the beasts. Our place and privilege is to be a mediating figure, but to be one who looks up rather than down. When we sever the tie that binds us to God and try to cast off God's rule, we do not rise up to take God's place, as we desire to do, but rather sink to a more bestial level. In fact, we come to think of ourselves as beasts ('the naked ape') or, even worse, as machines.

INSTRUCTIONS

I love to cook, and, after going on a special diet, I experimented to
find healthy meals that I enjoyed making and eating. For this recipe  I
took all the healthy ingredients I liked and combined them. My
granddaughter helped me create the recipe and gave it its special
name. -- Sharon Marvin, South Bend, Indiana  Cook the ground round in a
large Dutch oven over medium heat until  browned, stirring to crumble.
Drain the meat in a colander, and set  meat aside. Wipe the drippings
from pan with a paper towel.  Return meat to pan. Add water and the
next 10 ingredients (water  through broth), and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat, and simmer,  uncovered, 2 hours, stirring occasionally.  Break
pasta in half; stir into soup, and cook an additional 5 minutes  or
until the pasta is done. S: 13 servings (serving size: 1-1/2 cups).
