Tuck into this cozy meal whenever you’re in need of a little TLC. Portobello mushrooms add rich flavor and meaty texture to this chunky classic-style stew, while a medley of fresh veggies soaks up the herbaceous broth. Fresh rosemary and parsley deliver a beautiful depth of flavor that develops over time, so don’t be afraid to freeze your leftovers for a rainy day! These healthy vegan lunch ideas are ready for you to try.

Tip: Fresh rosemary is wonderful in this stew, but if you only have dried, use ½ teaspoon.

Best-Ever Beefless Stew

INGREDIENTS

  • 1½ large yellow or white onions, chopped into ¾-inch pieces (about 3 cups)

  • 3 ribs celery, cut into ¾-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 2 medium portobello mushrooms, cut into ¾-inch pieces (about 4 cups)

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1½ cups thawed frozen peas

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a Dutch oven or soup pot, cook onions, carrots, and celery with 1 tablespoon water over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, stirring frequently and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Stir in mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 minutes more, stirring frequently and adding water as needed.
  2. Stir in potatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Add 5 cups of water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in rosemary. Cook, covered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas; cook, covered, 5 minutes more or until carrots and potatoes are tender.
  3. Transfer 2 cups of the mixture to a blender. Cover and blend until smooth. Return to soup pot. Stir in parsley.
