This alphabet soup is filling, super tasty, and the kiddos are going to love it! You only need a few ingredients, and it takes less than 45 minutes to make. Even though it’s a vegetarian soup, feel free to include chicken or beef!
I love serving it with homemade grilled cheese sandwiches!

INGREDIENT NOTES
See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and complete instructions.
- Pasta – I used alphabet pasta, which you can find in the pasta section at most grocery stores. If it’s not available, you can easily find it online by searching for “alphabet pasta.”
- Tomatoes – Feel free to use canned diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes. I used canned crushed tomatoes.
- Chicken Stock – Any type of stock will work. Vegetable, beef, or chicken!
- Vegetables – I used two bags of frozen mixed veggies which included carrots, peas, corn, and green beans. Use whatever you have on hand.
TOP TIPS
- Let the soup come to a boil before adding the pasta. Keep in mind that alphabet pasta takes a little longer to cook, about 12-15 minutes.
- Season the soup generously with lots of kosher salt and black pepper, right before serving.
- Throw in a parmesan cheese rind for extra flavor!
- Garnish with lot’s of fresh parmesan cheese right before serving, if desired.
STORAGE
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Remember, the alphabet pasta will absorb a lot of the liquid, so add 2-3 cups of broth or water when reheating. You can also add more salt and pepper if needed. This soup freezes really well, too!
