Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup green beans, chopped
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent, releasing their sweet aroma.
  3. Add Carrots and Potatoes: Stir in the sliced carrots and diced potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to slightly soften and enhance their flavors.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the chopped green beans, peas, and diced bell pepper to the pot, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Mix Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth and then add the tomato paste, soy sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir everything thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  6. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the stew to a boil. This will help meld all the flavors together quickly.
  7. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally until all vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened slightly.
  8. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pot from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top, and serve the stew warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
  • For added protein, consider stirring in cooked lentils or beans during the simmering stage.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes towards the end of cooking.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
  • Use fresh herbs instead of dried, but add them towards the end of cooking to preserve flavor.
