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 use the diced tomatoes with diced green chilies.
- ABC pasta - you can find it in 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.
- Vegetable Broth - you can buy this pre-mixed and packaged or you can get a vegetable bouillon (which is my preference) and mix up your own.
Step by Step Recipe Instructions
- Pour vegetable broth in a pot.
- Add the peeled and diced potatoes.
- Simmer until the potatoes are all the way cooked through.
- IMPORTANT - 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 vegies 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!
Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
You must wait to add the tomatoes until after the potatoes are completely cooked! The high acidity level in tomatoes stop potatoes from cooking.
No, you can substitute any pasta you would like!
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?
Yes, if you have leftovers or just want to make it the day before it keeps just fine and reheats well the next day.
