A characterful broth? (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

alphabet soup

(Other definitions for alphabet soup that I've seen before include "Letter-filled broth?" , "confusion literally" , "A confusing series of letters" , "A-Z served with a ladle?" , "confusing composition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
