3 big potatoes peeled and roughly chopped
3 carrots peeled and roughly chopped

2 small/medium leeks clean and chopped
2 zucchinis peeled and sliced
3 tomatoes, quarter the tomatoes, removing any stalks
30 g butter
1.5 litre of vegetable stock

Method

  1. Heat the butter gently in a large saucepan
  2. Add all the chopped vegetables and mix together with a wooden spoon

  4. Sweat very gently for 10 minutes
  5. Add 1.5 litre of vegetable stock
  6. Add garlic, bouquet garni, tomato paste
  7. Don’t season
  8. Bring up to the boil and then simmer gently for about 20 minutes
  9. Check the level of water, the vegetables must freely float,  if not, add a bit of water
  10. Check if the vegetables are tender
  11. Take out the bouquet garni
  12. Liquidise or use a hand blender
