Introduction
This is a wintry comfort dish packed with multiple different types of prebiotic-rich vegetables that deliver a beautiful undertone of sweetness to the meal. The beans, onions, leeks and mushrooms are a powerful combination of nutrient rich and antioxidant rich ingredients that support your gut microbes. The subtle aniseed flavour of tarragon with earthy oregano is also delicious, and the soy adds real body the sauce.

Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC fan.
Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat, add the onion, leeks and mushrooms, season with salt and sweat down for 15 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients except the potato, stir until all the elements combine and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
