Salt & pepper as you wish.

Preparation:

Mixed beans, soaked over night.  Then, cooked with soup stock for x hours until it gets tender. 

Tomatoes - remove skins. Cook in boiling water for a 45 seconds which makes it easier to peel off.
Chop onions and garlic.  Keep all skins in a veggie coffin so these could be used to make veggie soup stock.
Leek, chopped
Methodology:
