Pasta Soup is actually same as spaghetti, it's just that the shape were made into small tiny cute ABC's shape to encourage kids to eat more food. Small bite size, suitable for toddlers age 1 year plus & above. Cook it with their favourite soup and sure they will finish everything.
"Eat your ABC's and you will be a smart boy/girl".
I'm not saying this is strictly for kids only. Adults will love this too, especially when you are craving for something hot & soupy. Or times when you are feeling unwell & need something easy to eat. To me, eating soup pasta is like eating rice with soup.
You can actually find quite a few brands of soup pasta in the supermarket. Ranging from different patterns/shapes of pasta.
