Vegetarian Stew
I probably make a soup once a week during this season, usually on a Sunday, so I have a big pot filled with hearty soup in my fridge almost every day. This vegetarian stew is delicious, filling and very inexpensive!
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots diced
- 3 sticks celery diced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ½ pound portobello mushrooms sliced
- ⅓ cup tomato paste
- 1 ½ pound gold potatoes cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 4 cups water
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 ½ cups peas (thaw first if using frozen)
- 3 sprigs rosemary fresh ; leaves stripped and finely minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ tablespoon marjoram
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of water (or olive oil for richer flavour). Add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in mushrooms and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes while stirring frequently.
- Add the diced potatoes, water, vegetable broth, tomato paste, dried parsley, smoked paprika, oregano and marjoram. Stir well to dissolve the tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the fresh rosemary, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, add peas and stir to combine. Let it cook for another 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer about one-third of the stew to a blender. Remove the centre cap from the blender lid and cover with a clean kitchen towel to allow steam to escape. Blend until smooth, then pour back into the pot and stir well to combine.
- Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
