Oma's Hearty Vegetable Soup with Sausage

Create homemade soups using ingredients you probably have right now in your kitchen. This time a hearty vegetable soup with sausage.

Ingredients:

• 5 pounds frozen California style veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower mix)
• about 6 cups hot water
• about 6 cups hearty beef or pork broth
• instant mashed potato flakes (enough for 3 cups milk)
• 2 - 4 cooked sausages
• salt and pepper
• Montreal Steak Spice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Into a large soup pot, place the frozen veggies. Add hot water and broth.
2. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and simmer for about 6 to 10 minutes or until veggies are tender.
3. Using a potato masher, crush some of the veggies to make a creamier soup.
4. Stir in sufficient instant mashed potato flakes to make the soup as creamy and thick as you wish. (I used one package that normally is mixed with 3 cups liquid)
5. Slice cooked sausages and add to soup. 
6. Season with Montreal Steak Spice, salt and pepper.

Notes/Hints:

• Use any leftover meat to add to the soup instead of the cooked sausages. Ham would also be nice. 
• The thicker you make it with the instant potato flakes, the heartier the soup will be.  
• If you don't have any broth, use beef bouillon cubes, enough to make up 6 cups of broth.
• Use a different frozen veggie mix for a different soup. Be creative! Make your own masterpiece! Create your own easy vegetable soup recipes.
