  • 500g sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 500g carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 100g frozen peas
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 8 sliced mushrooms
  • 400ml stock (beef or vegetable)
  • 100ml skimmed milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Season with salt, parsley and thyme.
