  2. Add a splash of sherry vinegar, paprika and grate the tomatoes into the pan. Add the remaining veggies and beans or lentils if you are using and top with enough water (you can use stock if you prefer) to cover with an inch to spare. Simmer until the veg are cooked. Note: depending on the veg that you are using you can add to the pot in the time it will take them to cook. I add the greens at the very end. Top with a little more water if needed.
  3. Serve in a bowl as soup or stew and top with chopped parsley. You could serve as a side dish if you prefer.
