Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Bring the oil to a medium-hot heat in a stock pot or large saucepan. Fry the onions for 5 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking.

* Step 2

Add the garlic, stir and fry for a further 2 minutes, or until the onions have softened.

* Step 3

Stir in the celery and fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes and potatoes. Add the stock, then herbs, spices and bay leaves and stir gently but thoroughly.

* Step 4

Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a rolling simmer, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until all the vegetables are softened. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Season and add or omit the sugar to taste.

* Step 5

Whizz to your preferred consistency (or leave as is - I did). Serve piping hot with granary bread or crusty roll. Add a swirl of crème fraîche or garnish with parsley if wished.
