How to Make A To Z Vegetable Soup

1. Dice 1 medium onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a large soup pot, cook onion and garlic over medium heat until onion is translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
2. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, while stirring, for one minute.
3. Gently squish 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) of crushed tomatoes through your fingers as you add them to the pot to release their juices.
4. Add 4 cups beef broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Add 2 cups chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, celery, zucchini, etc.), 1 cup alphabet pasta, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the vegetables and pasta are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
8. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
