Start by frying the diced onion, celery, and carrots in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat with 6 tablespoons of stock.

Cover and let them cook for five minutes or until the vegetables are soft and golden.

Increase the heat to high, then add the 5% fat minced beef and brown it for a few minutes.

If there's any fat from the meat, drain it off.

Stir in the garlic granules and paprika, and cook for a further minute or so.

Add the dried herbs, half the American mustard, tomato purée, and the chopped tomatoes.

Then add the rest of the hot stock and as soon as it's bubbling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

When it's ready to serve, season and ladle into four bowls.

Top with onion and gherkins, scatter over the toasted croutons, and drizzle with the remaining mustard.
