Remember Campbell's Alphabet Soup? I loved eating it as a child. It was always a delicious treat. I don't know one child today who doesn't adore it. Did you ever consider making it from scratch? Pasta Fagioli is not quite a soup but has soup like qualities and makes a fabulous meal. Try making this scrumptious Italian classic with Alphabet pasta. Your children will love it. This dish is ten times healthier than the canned soup and is packed with nutrients and robust flavor.
