Instead of opening a can of alphabet soup, why not make some from scratch? Kids of all ages love this traditional ABC soup with a tomato base, ground beef and alphabet pasta. —Sharon Brockman, Appleton, Wisconsin

If you don't have small pasta on hand for ABC Soup, use quick-cooking barley or instant rice. Cook until tender. If you're out of bouillon cubes, 2 teaspoons of bouillon granules can be used instead.
