V’s Alphabet Soup!
✏️BACK TO SCHOOL can be a very stressful time for both parents and kids. Making dinner while getting everything ready for the big next day shouldn’t be part of that. Here is an easy and delicious soup that will get them, and you, all ready for the new school year ahead. V’s Alphabet Soup! This uses the famous mirepoix which is the combo if onions, carrots, and celery.
