Alphabet Soup I (12/18)

Hungry? In this puzzle, you'll need every single letter of the alphabet, and perhaps a little broth.

The following clues when answered correctly will use all 26 letters. You may use any amount of outside letters and rearrange the current letters any which way you want. However, there's a catch: you may only cross off letters that are adjacent.

For example, if you saw the following string of letters "O N J R T P I E C" and had the clue DRINK, you might guess ORANGE JUICE. Because you may only cross off adjacent letters, you would have to choose between the string O, N, J, and R or the string I, E, and C, but not both. By solving one clue, you also reveal the necessary letters for the other clues.

One last thing: the string of letters wraps around onto itself so that the last connects to the first.

Got it? Good luck!
