• Add meat back into the pot and the potatoes and carrots. Boil gently for 15 minutes.
• Add beans and savoury, if using, and simmer until all vegetables are done.
• Check for salt, but ham and farmer sausage are salty meats so salt isn't usually needed.
• Freeze what's left.
• Note: I use a bit more potatoes than carrots, and even less beans.
