Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are softening around the edges, adding a splash of water if it sticks. Pour in the stock and chopped tomatoes, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and cook for another 20 minutes until the beetroot and potatoes are cooked through.
