Why Try This Vegetarian Stew
It is full of nutrient dense foods and lots of flavor in each bite. My husband was on the fence, but once he tried it he was blown away that it was all veggies and no meat. This veggie stew is a great way to use up leftover veggies in the fridge. It warms you up from the inside, out. You can count on feeling good after enjoying it.
Ingredients Needed
- Worcestershire sauce. Or soy if vegan.
- Veggie Broth. For the base of the stew.
- Seasonings. Oregano, salt, pepper, thyme, chipotle.
- Olive oil.
- Mushrooms.
- Green Cabbage. sliced.
- Russet poatoes.
- Fresh garlic cloves. Chopped.
- Tomato Paste.
- Crushed canned tomatoes.
- Celery and carrots, chopped.
How to make this veggie stew
Step one. Slice the green cabbage. Slice the onions. Chop all the other raw veggies into equal sizes, carrots, celery, mushrooms. Mince the garlic. Grab a large pot and add in olive oil. Turn on medium heat, add onions, celery, carrots to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes to soften everything up. Next add in the garlic, mushrooms, cabbage.
Step two. Add seasoning, canned tomatoes and tomato paste to the veggie mixture. pour veggie broth and Worcestershire over everything and mix everything a bit. I like to use a wooden spatula to mix. once things cook down, it will be much easier to mix so don’t worry if things don’t totally mix up perfectly.
Step three. Cover the veggie stew and let it cook for about 20 minutes. You may add more broth if you prefer your stew more thin consistency. Be sure to stir well before serving. Serve with toasted bread or avocado on top. Enjoy!
Recipe FAQ’s
Yes, you may sub out the potatoes for 1 pound of macaroni noodles or shells. You may also use sweet potatoes in place.
If you prefer it thicker, I suggest take 1/4 cup of the potatoes out once they are cooked and smashing them with a fork and adding them back to the mix to cook down more. Works like a charm.
Use a vegan Worcestershire or sub soy sauce for it!
refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 3 months.
