Here's the "recipe" I used.
Ingredients:
1 big bag Pict Sweet frozen mixed vegetables. I used about 3/4 of the bag for my pot of soup. - my mom uses the ones with tomatoes, but Publix didn't have that kind..booo
A few potatoes peeled and cut up small - I used some medium sized Idaho potatoes because the big bag of them was on sale. You could use any potato you like.
1 box Swanson (or whatever kind you like) beef broth
2 bay leaves - I use them in every kind of dark soup or stew I make
1-2 cans Original RoTel - now this was too spicy for me, so I advise using just plain diced tomatoes
1-2 RoTel can-fulls of water
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions: (Which involves literally throwing everything in the pot! HA!)
I dumped the veggies in the pot, then added the beef broth, potatoes, bay leaves, tomatoes, & water. I started with about 3/4 can of water, then added more as I felt it needed it. I turned the stove to boiling and let it boil for several minutes. Then I turned it down to about medium-high heat for a while. As it cooked, I checked the flavors and added more water as needed, as well as salt & pepper. Once everything is pretty much tender, I knocked it down to a little above low. This helped it thicken a little and continued to let the flavors marry.
Like I said...really simple...even simpler than I'm making it sound. ;-)

I will definitely be making this a lot during the coming months. Next on the agenda is the potato soup...yum...my favorite!!
