Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp black cracked pepper
- 1 28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 cups vegetable broth, or beef or chicken or bone broth
- 1 cup alphabet pasta

Equipment
Instructions
- Sauté the onions, celery, and carrots in a large pot with oil over medium heat until soft - about 5 minutes.
- Add the pressed garlic and stir for 1 minute.
- Add the seasoning and sauté for another minute.
- Add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, and broth into the pot and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 cup of uncooked alphabet pasta.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer and continue to cook on low heat for 15-25 minutes or until the pasta becomes soft and cooked through. Stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Add the frozen vegetables and stir in 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.
- Return the soup to a simmer and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Top each bowl of soup with a little freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy alongside hot crunchy bread!
Notes
Sandy’s tips and substitutions:
- Storage: Store leftover ABC soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days. Reheat in a pot over medium heat until warm. You can add broth to the leftover soup as it reheats since the pasta tends to soak up some of the liquid as the soup sits in the fridge.
- Freezer: Once completely cool, store this soup in the freezer for up to 3 months, either in an airtight container or individual portions in freezer-safe bags. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat to serve.
- Make-ahead: Assemble and cook the soup without the pasta. When ready to serve, boil the pasta separately from the pot of reheated soup and mix it in just before serving for the best texture.
