Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 medium yellow potato, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 cups green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 6 cups vegetable stock (or chicken broth or beef broth)
  • 1 cup alphabet noodles, uncooked
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it is sizzling hot, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, potato, green beans, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Lower the heat to medium, cover the lid, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add alphabet noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together.
  5. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

Notes

How to store: Leftover soup with alphabet pasta will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for approximately 5 days. The noodles may become puffy and soft in the fridge. If you know you're making this soup for leftovers, you can make the noodles separately and add them while reheating.

How to reheat: Reheat leftover alphabet soup on the stove in a saucepan over medium-low heat until fully heated. You can also microwave your leftovers for 2-3 minutes, stirring at every minute. Cover the soup bowl with a microwave-safe lid, as it may splatter.

How to freeze: After the soup has cooled completely, portion it into your favorite freezer-safe containers or bags, leaving room for the soup to expand. It will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let the frozen soup thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
