It's super easy to make and it has a great balance of veggies and the delicious taste you can only get from sausage. My kids, like most, are not big veggie eaters. But they eat this soup! They are suckers for anything with sausage in it. When I serve it to the kids I put a big dollop of sour cream on top - they seem to like it better with the creaminess, and it's a great way to cool it off quickly. One of my kids actually loves this so much that she requested the leftovers for breakfast the next day, and for snack when she got home from school.

One of the biggest benefits of doing yourself the favor of a weekly meal plan is that you can think through how you can use leftovers from one meal as the basis for another meal later in the week. You can plan ahead for how you can cook once for multiple meals.
So what I'm sharing with you in this post isn't so much of a recipe, but it's an example of how I've used my plan and cooked ahead to make a super easy weeknight meal that tastes like it cooked for hours.
