I ate a lot of Campbell's soup when I was a kid. My favorites were chicken noodle, tomato, and alphabet soup, which I ate on a weekly basis. My mother once bought Heinz because it was on sale, and I immediately knew it wasn't Campbell's, as soon as I tasted it. Gradually, I started eating more adventurous fare (at least I thought so at the time), like Knorr and Progresso. But, I still have a
soft spot in my heart for alphabet soup. When I was at the grocery store, I saw a package of alphabet pasta and decided to make my own version, modeled after Campbell's. It wasn't hard. Tomato based broth, chopped vegetables, and pasta. And I made sure the broth didn't have mystery floaty things in it, like onions or tomato pulp. I don't object to that now, but hated it when I was a kid. I enjoyed the soup I made, and thought it wasn't nearly as sweet as Campbell's, which makes me wonder if they're putting sugar into theirs.
