    This tasty soup comes together, and is a fantastic way to get kids of all ages to eat their veggies! Start it about 30 minutes before you want to serve it. ,As kids get older, you can leave out the alphabets (or replace them with tiny shells, orzo, or other small pasta), but those letters floating around in the soup gives it great appeal to young eaters. This soup will recall the canned version—but it’s much better and fresher. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 medium carrots peeled and cut into small dice
    • 2 medium potatoes peeled and cut into small dice

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or small soup pot. Add the carrots and potatoes and 1 cup water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes.
    • Add the green beans, alphabet noodles, broth, tomatoes, dill, and paprika. Return to a simmer, then cook gently, covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables and noodles are tender.
    • Add the peas and simmer for just a couple of minutes longer. Add a little more water if the broth seems crowded and cook just until heated through.

    Notes

    • If you’d like a more tomatoey soup, use the entire can of diced tomatoes, or double the amount of fresh tomatoes.
    • If there are leftovers, much of the broth will be absorbed by the noodles. Add water as needed, then correct the seasoning with additional paprika, dill, and salt if needed.
