"Almost" Alphabet Soup

Our kids love soup.  The youngest has loved soup from the first time he tried it, and will eat 2 or 3 toddler-sized bowls of soup in one sitting.  Our youngest is a bit more fussy in terms of what soup he will, but get the right one and he is a happy happy kid.  They both love Vegetable aka Alphabet Soup.  What kid doesn't?  And I figured I could probably make a big batch of homemade soup for the family...enter my search to find alphabet pasta.  No luck (yet) but I did find some great ring pasta and also bug shaped pasta! Perfect!

I made some homemade vegetable soup - my "Almost Alphabet Soup" using this vegetable stock as the base.  Here is what I did:

 Ingredients
Almost Alphabet Soup | Addicted to Recipes

 4 cups vegetable stock
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 cup green beans, sliced and ends removed
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup corn kernels
Pepper to taste
3/4 cup "O" pasta

 In a large pot, slowly reheat the vegetable stock.  Add in all of the vegetables and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes.  Bring the soup to a slow boil, add in the pasta.  Slow boil for about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy!

 VERDICT:
The soup was a hit, especially with the kids.  I'm already thinking about my next version using those bug shaped noodles!  Stay tuned!

    We don't have any "O" pasta in our pantry but we do still have some elbow pasta. Looks like I can make this. Well, as soon as I buy some celery. Maybe I'll add some leftover shredded chicken...thanks for the recipe inspiration! :)
