Veggie Soup For Hungry Children

Soup tastes better when its ingredients are veggies with enough noodles to give it a tempting look. All the pasta letters of the alphabet can be stirred in it until they cook well. I see some children drool, watching it with hungry eyes, but seeming cool... while mom warns them of the hot steam, " Don't stick your nose in that pot...you'll get burned! " Finally, the veggie soup is ready... every bowl is filled to the rim, " Yummy ", one says licking his lips. " Dig in, kids...it's mommy's soup, the best ever! " She tells them with a thrill that delights them all. " One thing you've forgotten to say... what was your letter? " Mine is A, " I yelled. " Good, boy...I am going to reward with another bowl of soup!"
