Hubby's Vegetable Soup Recipe

Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal effort—perfect for busy households. Here's what you need for 4 servings. Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1 liter of water
  • 3-4 Maggi beef stock cubes
  • Large bag of frozen soup vegetables (farmer's soup vegetables)
  • Medium curl vermicelli
  • Soup dumplings (optional)

Pro Tip: Use a Philips soup maker for effortless results—no chopping required!

How to Prepare

  • Bring water to a boil with stock cubes; stir until fully dissolved.
  • Add frozen soup vegetables and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in curled vermicelli (and soup dumplings if using); cook for 10 minutes total.

Your soup is ready to serve! As vegetarians, we skip the dumplings, but they're a great addition otherwise.

For variety, try it with cauliflower (better than boiled with potatoes), fried onions for depth, or broccoli with bacon. What's your favorite soup twist? Share in the comments, or check fellow blogger Judith's recipes for inspiration.
