My aunt and uncle gave Spencer a DVD of William Wegman's Alphabet Soup for Christmas 2 years ago. He watched it a couple of times, but never showed any real interest in it. I'm shocked to say this, but Spencer is starting to branch out from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He's loving Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso. He has also become completely obsessed with the Alphabet Soup DVD. It's all he wants to watch in the car. Over and over and over.

Spencer has been begging me to make alphabet soup for a week now. The weimaraners make alphabet soup with funky ingredients like a hot dog for "h", sugar for "s" and vinegar for "v", but we assembled a more typical cast of characters: cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, celery, onions and pasta.
It was special pasta, shaped like mini letters.
I cooked the veggies and chicken broth separately from the pasta,
so the noodles don't get soggy when we reheat it.
Ginger waited patiently during the whole cooking process.
Alphabet soup success.
Add whole wheat bread and it's dinner!
Spencer spent an hour talking about how much he likes alphabet soup. Then he ate 3 bites and declared dinner done. He is currently having a bowl of yogurt before bed because he's soooooo huuuuuuuuungry.

Your alphabet soup looks deeeelllicious! Your post makes me wanna make some.
Yum! On another note, Oso is a dumbass! He doesn't know anything! BTW, I need your help. I am in charge of making a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed cake for my friend's daughter's 2nd b-day. Any suggestions on how to put that plan in action? I have no idea what it looks like!
