Alphabet Soup brings back that childhood nostalgia with a playful combination of letters and flavors. This comforting recipe offers a warm and hearty mixture of vegetables, pasta, and savory broth for a nourishing bowl of goodness.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 15oz can tomato sauce
- 5 cups water
- 1 12oz bag or 1 can mixed vegetables
- 1 tablespoon dry minced onion
- ½ cup alphabet pasta
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by combining ground meat, dry onion, salt & pepper in a large pot on medium-high heat.
2. Cook until the meat is nice and brown.
3. Drain any extra fat and juices that may be produced. You want this mix to be lean.
4. Next, add in your mixed vegetables and stir well. You want an even distribution of the veggies and meat.
5. Then add all of the tomato sauce to your meat and veggies mixture and stir well.
6. Increase your heat.
7. Bring all ingredients to a sizzling boil and then remove from heat and allow it to simmer for a moment.
8. Stir in alphabet pasta, reduce heat, and simmer the whole thing until your pasta is tender. Note that this hearty soup recipe would work for any pasta, not just alphabets.
9. Serve alphabet soup immediately while hot.
