Sprinkle in some stock powder and some water if it is sticking (it adds a lovely flavour when it scoops up all the crispy bits!)

Bring to a boil, add all the vegetables, the soup mix and any further seasoning that you might like, like salt and pepper, mixed herbs, 1/2 tsp.

chili flakes.

Once it boils again, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about and hour to an hour and a half.
