Ingredients
- Olive oil.
- 6 cloves garlic, minced into oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- generous helping of parsley
- 1 leek sliced
- 1 red pepper
- 1 carrot chopped in half lengthwise and then into 2 inch bits (for easy later removal)
- 2 Celery stalks finely chopped
- salt, pepper

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and add the ingredients in the order they appear in the ingredients list, or just follow the rule of hard veg first and then softer veg.
- Stir fry the vegetables and season to taste.
- Add cold water or stock and the sweet potato and bring to a simmer.
- Turn to a medium heat and allow to cook to absorb the flavour of the vegetables.
- Heat a little olive oil in a wok and add the tomatoes.
- Heat on a high heat, stirring to stop them from sticking, until they begin to lose their shape.
- You can wait until the lumps are all gone, or you can add the tomatoes to the stock while they still have chunks. Entirely up to you!
