- Heat a large saucepan on a medium heat and add half of the olive oil. Brown the meat in the pan, stirring frequently and breaking the mince up into small pieces.1 tablespoon olive oil, 250 g minced beef
- Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil and saute the vegetables for 5 minutes.

- Bring the soup up to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Check that the vegetables are cooked to your liking with the tip of a knife.
Notes
- Dice the carrots, onion and celery neatly so that the vegetables cook through evenly.
- I used one stock cube dissolved in one litre of liquid. That's more liquid than recommended on the pack, but otherwise, I find it can be a little too salty.
- Either use fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, or 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
