Fry gently until all the vegetables start to get brown and soft but not mushy. Now add gravy mix made up into stock add seasoning to taste Simmer for at least 20 minutes.By this time the soup will have thickened.Add more stock if required at this stage also more seasoning and last add baked beans and peas.Serve with crusty bread or rolls for a tasty filling for at least 4 people.

This soup actually improves with reheating But make sure you bring it to the boil!!

If liked add tomatoes left over bacon, meat even a tin of cheap stewing steak will make a very rich nourishing soup for a cold winters day.
