An excellent soup that is truly mmmm mmmm good! My kids think so, too. I've been making this recipe every week since I found it. It is rather thick, so I add a little more broth. Sometimes I do the puree step, sometimes I don't (when I'm feeling lazy). I've used the dried beans (which I prefer), and I've also used canned. It was great every single time.

Yummy Yummy Yummy. Great way to hide veggies from kids who are picky eaters. I'm lucky, as my daughter loves her veggies. Didn't have alphabet pasta, so we used dinosaur pasta. I puree the lot including the beans didn't have the time to pick them out. I used canned beans as needed the soup in a hurry.

The kids had tons of fun eating this and I thought it was yummy too! I used a quart of diced tomatoes (and added a Tbsp of sugar)and skipped the puree step (my kids like picking out the different veggies and saying-"ooh I'm eating a carrot!") I hadn't tried cooking with beans without soaking first. It's actually pretty quick that way. It was a thick soup but that's fine by me. I'll definitely be making this again along with some variations. Thanks!

My family greatly enjoyed this wonderfully seasoned soup. Don't skimp on the liquid ingredients because it does end up a thick soup. I used a 15 ounce can of cannellini beans and they worked well. I had two, and then three helpings--it's a good thing it's "Healthy Alphabet Soup"! Thanks, LUv2BaKE, for a great recipe!

This was both easy and delicious... and the grandbabies loved it. Despite leaving the alphabet pasta here at the house when I went over to DD's to visit this afternoon, the soup worked well w/ "wagon wheel" pasta. Eleven month old Chloe was thinking about every piece of food I put in her mouth, trying to figure out what it was I was giving her... and she kept opening her mouth for more. I froze extra soup in 2 cup containers for DD to have for future meals. I sampled the soup myself and it is very tasty.

5 stars fro bringing back childhood memories and presenting it in a healthy way. No added fat here, great.I love the sweet tastes of tomatoes and carrots. And beans are wonderful protein source. I used canned canneloni beans and so I could reduce cooking time to just 20 minutes. Try this soup next time with some friends. Add some fresh tomato pieces and some slices of carrots for reference. You will see everybody knows this soup and will be delighted to get it again after many years. Like it was for me. I loved alphabet soup as child and still do. Thanks for sharing.

This was really good! My kids just loved it. I liked the addition of the cayenne since it gave it a nice little kick, but not too much. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

I cheated a bit when making this and used a can of white beans instead of dried beans and therefore omitted the water. The pasta used was Organic Vegetable Alphabets. I sauteed the veggies before adding the broth and reduced the cooking time to about 30 minutes. The cayenne gives the soup a very nice bite wihout making it hot. DD had a 2nd bowl. That alone would make it a 5 star recipe for me. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT4
