Above is a Hearty Vegetable Soup with Sausage as an example. Check the "A bit of this and a bit of that" for other ideas and the "Oma Says" for more homemade soup recipe tips.

A bit of this and a bit of that ...

• 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.

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!
