Chicken Alphabet Soup
Who says you can’t play with your food? This simple and delicious Chicken Alphabet Soup will have even your biggest of kids practicing their spelling.
When Monkey Girl was little she was such a picky eater.
I honestly blame that on my mom.
She took care of three of her grandchildren and each day she made them three different meals. She also did something that I swore I would never do, introduce her to Barney. You know Barney, the annoying purple dinosaur? Boy was I ticked over that one.
But I digress.
I often made this soup for Monkey Girl. You see, like so many other parents, I did what I could to sneak in some vegetables. It depended on the day of the week as far as the carrots go. But to this day she loves corn and asparagus. I add these little alphabet pasta and we made a game out of it. You can substitute any vegetables that your little, or big kids enjoy.
I do not know a child that doesn’t like to play with their food. Mine is no exception.
