      <![CDATA[@9:<br />
<br />
Chop: 1 onion, 2 carrots, 2 stalks celery. Sautee onion in olive oil in large pot. Add small spoonful of garlic. Add carrots and celery and cook for 1-2 minutes. I like barley instead of alphabet pasta, so add 1/3 cup of pearl barley and lightly toast. Add 1 small can of organic no-sugar-added tomato paste and lightly caramelize. Add 1 can veggie broth and 3-4 cups hot water, plus any other vegetables you like (I add mushrooms, frozen peas, chopped green beans diced tomatoes, sometimes some zucchini or finely chopped kale). Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low boil for about an hour or until barley is done. I tend to boil it longer to reduce the water and get a more concentrated flavor. I eat this soup all the time - it makes quite a bit that you can refrigerate or freeze. Totally veggie, nutritious, delicious.

My first name has a "y" in it, too - another tough one to find in alphabet-related food.

Offered: half a family sized can of Campbell's aphabet soup. (Ballard)  Got all the letters I needed from half a can and refrigerated the rest. Still totally good!<br />

Possibly as a snark-response to this:<br />

OFFERED: Flavor packets from ramen noodles (Capitol Hill)<br />
6 flavor/seasoning packets from ramen noodles - 3 chicken, 3 beef. In your reply, please tell me when you'd like to pick up. I am fairly flexible with day or evening pick ups.<br />
