Serves 6 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1, diced
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Carrots
2, diced
Celery
2 stalks, diced
Potatoes
2, cubed
Tomatoes
2 cups, diced (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
Vegetable broth
4 cups
Bay leaf
1
Thyme
1 teaspoon, dried (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Parsley
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. Once done, remove the bay leaf before serving.
  7. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness.

Tips

  • 💡 For a heartier stew, add beans or lentils for extra protein.
  • 💡 Serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
