Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound mushrooms, sliced (mix of varieties preferred)

3 medium carrots, sliced

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth (or more for a thinner stew)

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (optional for added depth)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).

  • Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to avoid burning.

  • Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes, until they release moisture and begin to brown.

  • Add sliced carrots and diced potatoes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Add soy sauce (if using), thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.

  • Adjust seasoning as needed, then garnish with fresh parsley.

  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add Protein: Boost the protein content with lentils or chickpeas for a more filling meal.

  • Spicy Twist: Spice up the stew by adding red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers.

  • Creamy Option: Stir in coconut milk or heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture.

  • Swap Vegetables: Feel free to add parsnips, celery, or turnips for extra flavor and texture.
