Quick & Easy Homemade Vegetable Soup (Using Leftover Roast) 🥔🥕🍅🧅🫛

This is one of those cozy, no-measuring, use-what-you-have soups—and honestly, those are the best kind.

Ingredients

-1 onion, diced
-1 can corn, drained
-1 can green beans, drained
-1 can peas, drained
-1 can petite diced tomatoes
-Tomato juice (about 1 jug, more or less to taste)
-A little water, if needed
-Salt & pepper, to taste
-Leftover roast with potatoes and carrots, chopped

Instructions

1. Dice the onion and add it to a large pot.
2. Add in the drained corn, green beans, and peas.
3. Pour in the can of petite diced tomatoes. I like to rinse the can with a little water and add that too.
4. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
5. Pour in tomato juice—usually about one jug, but just eyeball it and go by your pot.
6. Add a splash of water if needed.
7. Let everything simmer together for 15–20 minutes.
8. While that’s cooking, chop up your leftover roast, potatoes, and carrots.
9. Add the chopped leftovers to the pot and give it a good stir.
10. Turn the heat to medium and let it come to a gentle boil so everything warms through.
11. If it needs more liquid, add a little more tomato juice or water—trust your judgment.
12. Once everything is hot and cozy, it’s ready to serve.

You can use any kind of leftover roast you have—don’t overthink it. Growing up, my mom used leftovers all the time, and those meals were some of the best. I was thankful for them then, and I’m still thankful now. Sometimes the simplest, most comforting meals come from what’s already in your fridge and a whole lot of love.

One-Pot Cabbage & Sausage Skillet 🥬🍅

This hearty, low-carb meal is a "Mamaw Gail" classic—perfect for busy weeknights when you want maximum flavor with minimal cleanup.

# Ingredients

-1 lb Ground beef (hamburger meat)
-1 lb Swaggerty’s Farm Mild Italian Sausage
-1 Medium onion, diced
-1 can Rotel (Original)
-1 can Petite diced tomatoes
-1 Medium head of cabbage, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or deep skillet, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat, breaking the meat into crumbles as it starts to brown.
2. Sauté the Onions: Add the diced onion to the pot. Continue cooking until the meat is fully browned and the onions have softened and turned translucent.
3. Prep for Simmering: Drain off the excess grease, but leave just a little bit in the pan—that’s where the flavor lives!
4. Combine: Stir in the Rotel and the diced tomatoes (with their juices).
5. Wilting the Cabbage: Fold in the chopped cabbage and season generously with salt and pepper.
6. Slow Cook: Place a lid on the pot. Let it simmer for 20–25 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is perfectly tender.
7. Finish: If you prefer a thicker consistency, remove the lid for the last few minutes of cooking to let some of the moisture evaporate.

Pro-Tips for Success

-Heat Level: If you like a kick, swap the mild Italian sausage for "Hot" or use the "Hot" variety of Rotel.
-Serving: This is delicious on its own, but it’s also great served over white rice or with a side of cornbread.
