Gobble Up Words! | Recipe for Fun

Yummy in my tummy... Fill your tummy and mind with a literacy activity that you and your child can eat! Make a pot of Alphabet Soup and see how many delicious words you can munch.  Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 4 minced garlic gloves
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup rinsed, dried white beans
  • 1 large can tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian Herbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 cup dry alphabet pasta

Directions:

    1. Combine first five ingredients; boil.
    2. Add next four ingredients; boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer stirring occasionally for 1 ½ hours until beans are tender.
    3. Using a slotted spoon, remove most of the beans and transfer remaining liquid to a blender; process until smooth. *This step is for grown-ups only.
    4. Return mixture and beans back to the pot.
Stir in alphabet pasta and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 minutes until pasta is tender but firm.
