February 15th - Homemade Vegetarian Alphabet Soup
My daughter loves alphabet soup (what kid doesn't?). I usually buy Amy's Organic at $4 a can. Today, I decided to make some. I was inspired the last time I went to the grocery store and saw that they sell the alphabet pasta. I decided to try this recipe from RecipeZaar.
