Ingredients

  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • ½ cup carrots, in tiny cubes (the size of small peas)
  • ½ cup diced zucchini
  • ½ cup diced yellow crooked-neck squash
  • ½ cup baby corn, ¼-inch pieces (or ¼ cup frozen corn—see notes)
  • ½ cup small peas (frozen—see notes)
  • ½ cup minced firm tofu
  • 1–1½ cups cooked small pasta (see notes)

Directions

  1. Bring broth to boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
  2. Add carrots, and lower the heat to a simmer.
  3. Cook for 5 minutes, or until carrots are just tender.
  4. Add zucchini, squash, and corn.
  5. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in peas, tofu, and cooked pasta.
  6. Simmer just a couple of minutes longer.
  7. Serve hot (or very warm) in small bowl with small spoons.

Notes

Use small pasta (alphabets, little circles, little stars, and/or orzo) to delight kids!

Cook pasta and store in water, covered, in the refrigerator until use. Drain well to add to the hot broth.

Frozen vegetables can be added to the broth frozen.
