Steps:
- Gently mix the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, chili powder, oregano, cumin, egg, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper until combined. Shape into 24 meatballs, about 1 heaping tablespoon per meatball.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the meatballs, turning occasionally until browned on the outside and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle lightly with salt. Adjust the heat as needed while frying so the meatballs do not burn before cooking through.

Steps:
- In a deep pot over medium heat add oil, chopped carrots, celery and onions and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5 or 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the veggies cook, combine meat, egg, garlic, grated cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg.
- Uncover your soup pot and add broth and water to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. When soup boils, reduce heat a bit and start to roll meat mixture into small balls, dropping them straight into the pot. You are making meat dumplings that will cook in the broth. When you are done rolling the meat, add pasta to the soup and stir. Cover and simmer soup 10 minutes. When pasta is tender, stir in chopped spinach in batches. When spinach has wilted into the soup, the soup is done and ready to serve. Adjust your seasonings. Serve soup with crusty bread or grilled 4 cheese sandwiches.
- In a small skillet over medium low heat, combine oil, butter and garlic. Cook garlic in butter and oil gently for 2 or 3 minutes. Remove garlic butter mixture from heat.
- Place a large nonstick skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Using a pastry brush, brush 1 side of 4 slices of bread with garlic oil and place buttered side down in skillet. Top each slice with equal amounts of the 4 cheeses, distributing them equally over the 4 slices. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread brushed with garlic butter, buttered side up. Flip the grill cheese sandwiches a few times until cheeses are melted and gooey and bread is toasty and golden. Cut grilled 4 cheese sandwiches from corner to corner and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh corn, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro will give your soup the best flavor. For the meatballs, use a combination of ground beef and pork for the best texture and flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup. The corn and vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder until the soup is flavorful but not too spicy. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for a bit of brightness.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado.
