Alphabet Chicken Soup

Your toddler will love finding and recognizing letters in their soup - look for whole wheat alphabet pasta for added fiber and vitamins.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 (32-ounce) containers fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 cup uncooked alphabet-shaped pasta

Directions

1.  Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot.
2.  Add onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté vegetables 5 minutes; add garlic, and sauté 1 minute or until vegetables are tender and the mixture smells good.
3.  Stir in broth, chicken, and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
4.  Stir in pasta, and cook 8 minutes or just until pasta is tender.
