Alphabet Vegetable Soup

Keep your little ones warm in the wintertime with this healthy and hearty Alphabet Soup. Kids will have fun spelling out words with the pasta letters and trying out a variety of veggies!

A good bowl of soup is like a big hug during colder months. This is also the time of year people tend to catch colds, so loading up on lots of fruits and veggies is a great way to keep your immune system going strong.

Nutrition Tip: Vegetables provide your body with vitamins A and C, which help fight illness and promote healing.

This soup comes together in one pot and is packed with carrots, kale, green beans, potatoes, RealSweet® sweet onions and tomatoes. Pump up the protein by adding your favorite beans (to keep it vegetarian), chicken or beef. You can also easily swap out veggies with your favorites or whatever you have on hand.
