What’s in Alphabet Soup?
- Pasta: Cute little alphabet shapes will keep little eaters engaged, looking for every letter (or their initials)! If alphabet noodles aren’t in your area, find them online or use orzo, ditalini, pastina, or mini shells.
- Veggies: Fresh veggies add savory flavor and can be customized any way you like. Use any veggies on hand, be sure they’re cut small enough so a little bit of veggie love gets into every bite!
- Seasonings: Buy or DIY? Make your own Italian seasoning blend with pantry basics and have lots of leftovers for other recipes.
Variations You Need to Try:
- Make it meaty and add frozen meatballs, or leftover ground beef, chicken, or Italian sausage.
- Try adding some frozen peas or corn, or green beans with the pasta for extra color and nutrition.
- Try using chicken broth, homemade chicken stock, or vegetable stock in place of beef broth for a lighter-tasting variation.
How to Make Alphabet Soup
- In a large soup pot, sauté the vegetables (except the potato) and garlic until softened.
- Add remaining ingredients (except alphabet pasta) and bring to a boil.
- Add alphabet pasta and simmer until noodles are al dente (full recipe below).
Tips & Tricks for Storing Soup
Store alphabet soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
If freezing, write the date on the outside of the zippered bag and store in the freezer for up to one month.
