With another of my thrift store cookbook finds, The Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook, I found a pretty simple Alphabet Soup recipe. I had some pasta stars leftover from another dish, so I decided to go with that instead for this simple slow cooker tomato soup. I also swapped in minced onion for onion soup mix and TVP for stew meat. This simple tomato vegetable soup is great fun for the kids to help make and enjoy the stars (or letters). We’ve had a lot of colds lately, so this comforting and fun soup has been great for the kids. And they so love to help make it!
