Alphabet Soup

 

I usually cut this in half...but in the winter I make it all. Kids love this.

 

 

1/4 cup olive oil

2 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup carrots, peeled and diced

3/4 cup minced onions

5 1/2 quarts vegetable stock

2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced

1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced

3 cups diced zucchini

3 cups peeled, seeded, and diced tomatoes, fresh or canned

5 1/2 cups dried alphabet pasta

1/2 cup cooked peas

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

grated Parmesan cheese for accompaniment

 

In a large pot over moderate heat, warm olive oil. Add potatoes, carrot,

and onion and saute 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock, basil, and oregano.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer 15 minutes.

Add zucchini and 1 cup of the tomatoes. Simmer 10 minutes. Add pasta,

peas, and remaining 2 cups tomatoes; simmer until pasta is cooked through.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately and pass a bowl of

Parmesan.

Makes about 16 cups.
