Description
This vegan Irish Stew reminds me of being a kid! My mom always made hearty soups and stews this time of year. The savory flavor of this soup is amazing and will warm you to the bones!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled carrots and/or parsnips (3 to 4 carrots or parsnips)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound whole crimini mushrooms, diced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 10 oz bag frozen peas
- 1 8oz. Guinness stout
- 4 cups Edward & Sons Not-Beef Natural Bouillon Stock (or use vegetable stock)
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder** See note
- 3 tablespoons water (to make a thickening slurry)
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Warm a Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add onions and saute onions in a few tablespoons of water until onions begin to soften.
- Add chopped celery, carrots/parsnips – saute for 6-7 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. About 30 seconds.
- Clean mushrooms and medium dice, add mushrooms and peas to the pot, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
- Stir in tomato paste and add the stout. Stir well and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add stock and potatoes.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
- Mix cornstarch and water. Bring stew to a strong simmer and stir the slurry into the stew to thicken. Stir well. Garnish with fresh parsley and peas, if desired.
Notes
**I like a thick stew, so I used 4 tablespoons. If you don’t want it thick, reduce corn starch to 3 tablespoons.
