I am an idiot. I grabbed the “peas” out of the freezer to make my Beef Soup and didn’t notice that they were in fact actually Sweetcorn, until I poured them into my slow cooker. I decided to just go with it, having little other option! The Beef soup tastes just fine with sweetcorn instead of peas but I do think that peas would be the better choice.

How to Make Beef and Vegetable Soup

Start by dicing the onions.

And mincing the garlic.

Fry them in a little fat or oil until they are soft.

Chuck them in your slow cooker.

Dice the celery and throw that in too.

Add the mince meat to the pan pan you fried the onions in – no point in making more washing up! Add four stock cubs and a full bottle of Worcestershire sauce. Fry the mince until it’s brown but it doesn’t need to be fully cooked.

Sling the beef mince mixture into the slow cooker.

Add a generous springkling of flour.

And a full tube of tomato puree.

Throw in the frozen “peas”.

Peel and finely dice the carrots.

Chuck them into the slow cooker too as well as the 3 tins of tomatoes.

Give it a stir.

Leave the Beef Soup to cook on low for the day or on high if you’re in a rush.

Portion it into freezer tubs and leave them to cool.

Don’t forget to label your tubs before you freeze them!
