Method of cooking "A to Z Vegetable Soup (1)"

In a large soup pot, cook onion and garlic over medium heat until onion is golden, about 8 minutes. Add seasoning and cook, while stirring, for one minute. Squish the tomatoes through your hands as you add them to the pot. Add beef broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add vegetables and alphabet pasta. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat until they are both tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season soup with pepper and salt and stir in the parsley.
