With the cold front hovering all around nothing beats a pot of chunky beef and vegetable soup. I made my big biryani pot full hoping it would last all week to snack on before dinner but lasted a day and a half! It was awesome!

2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves crushed
2 thinly sliced leeks
2 chopped carrots
2 sliced celery rib
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Cajun spice
1 tablespoon Aromamix
2 bay leaves
Coarse salt and ground pepper
a packet soup mix grated and leaves and parsley chopped and reserved
4 cups stock (3 chicken and 2 vegetable stock pots)
2 cups of water
1 can diced tomatoes, with juice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 potatoes halved then quartered
1 Pkt Mutton &Vegetable soup
1 heaped tsp of Rajah’s mild and spicy curry powder (optional)

Dredge beef shin in flour.
Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onions and garlic and fry for a few minutes.
