Chernobyl soup: veg, sausage and paprika

I love recipes like this - get a load of stuff from the supermarket, tip it in and set it away. Done in half an hour, just like your partner.
We apologise to the good folk in the Ukraine for this bastardisation of what is probably a staple recipe, but heck it's good.
You can make this syn free by omitting the smoked sausage but don't - it's worth those couple of syns, trust me.
By the way, do you hear the people sing?
Ingredients
- one packet of vegetable soup mix (the fresh chopped swede, potato, onion and carrot, already chopped - or feel free to chop your own) (600g)
- 100g of Mattessons Reduced Fat smoked sausage, chopped into tiny chunks (8 syns)
- fat-free bacon, as much as you like, cut into chunks
- a teaspoon of smoked paprika
- one litre of good vegetable stock or bouillon
- one tablespoon of wholegrain mustard (1/2 syn, but you can shove that up your pumper if you think we're counting it)
Calorie wise, based on 100g of fat-free bacon, this kicks in at about 175 calories. And it's dead filling as owt divvent ya knaa.
Instructions
Using an Instant Pot? But of course you are, you're a very sensible sort and you know it's the best pressure cooker out there. So:
- hit the saute button, add a little oil, tip your bacon and sausage in first followed by the paprika and vegetables, and saute for about five minutes, giving everything a good stir
- once done, add the stock and mustard, seal it up and set it away on manual for about ten minutes
- vent, serve, applause, tears
Don't have an Instant Pot? Shame on you. But the same as above - stick it in a big old pot, saute for a little bit, add stock and cook.
