Many games involve letters, so I thought alphabet soup would be ideal to serve at my theme party, which included an evening of playing board games and cards. I concocted the hearty soup using ingredients I had on hand. Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 cup chopped onion |
6 cups water |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 cup each chopped celery, carrot, turnip and potato |
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes |
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 cup uncooked alphabet pasta |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add water, vegetables and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add pasta; simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta and vegetables are tender. Yield: 12 servings (3 quarts).
