Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • A comfort food for kids of all ages on a cold winter day!
  • Pack this pasta soup it in a thermos for school lunch!
  • Simple soup with fantastic tomato flavor and edible alphabet pasta!
  • You'll know how to make alphabet soup instead of using canned soup!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Frozen Vegetables - I like the corn, carrot, green bean blend, but you can use any one you prefer!
  • Diced Tomatoes - for a spicy kick of extra flavor use the diced tomatoes with diced green chilies.
  • ABC pasta - You can find alphabet pasta in the pasta section of most grocery stores. If you're having a hard time locating it I've found it in the Mexican food section if it's not anywhere else. Or you can order some alphabet noodles through amazon with the link below. Tiny star pasta could be used in place of alphabet pasta as well.
  • Vegetable Broth - You can buy cartons of already prepared vegetable broth or make your own from a base (not bouillon cubes). A base is a wet broth concentrate rather than dried out granules. Better than Bouillon makes an excellent base. Do not substitute chicken broth or chicken stock for this recipe.
The seven ingredients you need for this soup.
Just 7 ingredients for this simple alphabet soup recipe!

Couple Things You'll Need

Step by Step Recipe Instructions

  • Pour vegetable broth in a soup pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Add the peeled and diced potatoes.
  • Simmer until the potatoes are all the way cooked through.
  • IMPORTANT for BEST RESULTS - if you add the tomatoes before the potatoes are cooked completely the acid in the tomatoes will stop the potatoes from cooking and turn them hard!
  • Add the frozen veggies and cook until thawed and heated through.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and alphabet pasta.
  • Add the onion and garlic powder.
  • Once the pasta is cooked though remove from the heat, cool slightly and serve!
  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge!

This simple recipe is just a few simple steps for an easy meal that's also great for healthy eating!

Recipe FAQs

Why are my potatoes hard?

You must wait to add the tomatoes until after the potatoes are completely cooked! The high acidity level in tomatoes stop potatoes from cooking.

Do I have to use ABC pasta?

No, you can substitute any small pasta you would like!

What can I serve with this soup?

Grilled cheese sandwiches are great with this childhood soup, however, let's go for some adult grilled cheese like Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese or Grilled Smoked Gouda with Pimento Sandwiches. And did you know you can make Grilled Cheese in an Air Fryer?

Will this soup keep overnight?

Yes, if you have leftovers or just want to make it the day before it keeps just fine and reheats well the next day.
