Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Soup
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 carrots, peeled and diced; 2 celery stalks, diced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 zucchini, diced; 8 cups vegetable or chicken broth; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup alphabet pasta; Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pot. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and stir in the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the alphabet pasta and cook according to package instructions until the pasta is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the Alphabet Soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
