ALPHABET BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP- CROCK POT
Good hearty soup for those cold and rainy days, and so easy to make, just pitch it all in the crock pot! I made the mistake of putting the noodles in and letting it go too long, and they totally dissolved. It still tasted fine, it was just thicker. Make sure you put them in no more than an hour before you're ready to serve. I also use whatever meat is cheap, doesn't have to be sirloin because it's gonna cook all day. From Family Circle 10/7/09

TOMATO ALPHABET SOUP
A taste of nostalgia can be comforting. Inspired by the childhood favorite, canned tomato soup, this homemade version yields a lush and satisfying meal culled from kitchen staples. The process of separating your canned tomatoes from their juices, cooking them until caramelized and enhancing their strength with concentrated tomato paste helps develop deep roasted tomato flavor. If you can't find alphabet pasta, any other small pasta will be delicious.

Steps:
- Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in carrot and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 10 minutes.
- While the vegetables cook, strain the tomatoes over a bowl, separating the juice from the whole tomatoes, then squeeze the tomatoes over the liquid. Add the squeezed tomatoes and the tomato paste to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes start to caramelize, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to packing instructions. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid, strain, then return pasta to the pasta pot and gently stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter; season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add the tomato juices from the bowl and 2 cups water to the soup pot, stirring to scrape up any caramelized bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, partly covered, until the vegetables are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using an immersion or countertop blender, pureé the soup until very smooth. (If using a countertop blender, blend in batches with a kitchen towel over the lid of the blender.) Stir in pasta water as needed to thin soup to desired consistency. Stir in buttered alphabets and adjust seasoning. Divide among soup bowls.

INSTANT POT ALPHABET VEGETABLE SOUP
This soup is really simple to make. I use it as a side dish for sandwiches often times as we don't eat nearly as many French Fries or Potato Chips these days as we did in our younger years, lol! To make this a main dish, add leftover cooked meat to the pot or a half cup dry beans of choice.

Steps:
- 1. Cut your meat to small pieces..bite sized. Remove all fat bones etc. melt the butter in big soup kettle and then brown your meat until it is super dark brown stirring constantly so it does not burn but you want the dark brown in the bottom (makes better soup stock the darkest you can get it without burning it)
- 2. When your meat is brown enough fill your soup pan to about 3/4 full of hot water add your cup of strong coffee, beef base or boullion and garlic powder and cover (very important so the stock does not evaporate too fast) on it and simmer it until it is tender, about an hour to hour and a half depending on the meat.
- 3. Peel and cut 5 good size potatoes, 1 lb. bag of carrots and dice 1 onion into small pieces. Add your onion to the beef as soon as it is cut and put your carrots and potatoes in a bowl with cold water covering so they don't get all brown and nasty while the beef cooks. With a very sharp knife cut off all of the corn from the cobs and put aside in bowl.
- 4. Test your meat and check to see that stock does evaporate too much (add more water to at least 1/2 pan full during the time your meat is cooking)
- 5. When tender enough add your carrots and potatoes and corn, tomato sauce and paprika and cook for 10-15 minutes until fork tender, add green beans and alphabet noodles cook 15 minutes more. Salt and Pepper to taste VIOLA!

- Add the next 6 ingredients & stir well. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; add pasta.
- Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. A good way to tell if they're done is to pierce them with a fork. If they're easily pierced, they're ready.
- Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. You can use store-bought broth, or you can make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use fresh, flavorful ingredients.
- Add some protein. This will make your soup more filling and satisfying. Some good choices include chicken, beef, pork, or beans.
- Season the soup to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices. Be careful not to overseason the soup, or it will be too salty or spicy.
- Serve the soup with a side of bread, crackers, or salad. This will help to complete the meal.
