- Use a different frozen veggie mix for a different soup. Be creative! Make your own masterpiece! Create your own easy vegetable soup recipes.
Oma's Homemade Soup Tips ...
- When you decide you're in need of quick dinner ideas, making you own soup is a great solution.
- Take a recipe that you've already made and alter it if this is your first time creating your own.
- Measurements don't need to be exact. Ingredients are easily exchanged. Add different seasonings. Omit what you don't like.
- For the hearty vegetable soup above, using a hot spicy BBQ sausage really gave this soup ZING! My hubby was flabbergasted at how marvelous this soup tasted. I now know that when I need easy dinner ideas, this easy soup will be a winner. It's a keeper.
- The idea of just cooking frozen veggies, instant mashed potatoes, and leftover BBQ sausages to make a wonderful quick and hearty soup was the basis for this one.
- I realized I had some leftover grilled sausages in the fridge. I also had some amazing broth I had cooked some spare ribs in before I had BBQ'd them. So, creativity blossomed and the following has become one of my very easy vegetable soup recipes!
