A hearty and comforting vegan stew featuring white beans and mushrooms, seasoned with fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, substitute vegetable broth)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Stir in the vegetable broth, rinsed beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, and bay leaf.
  6. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove the bay leaf. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve the warm stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Serve this stew over creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread for dipping.
  • For a thicker stew, mash about 1/2 cup of the white beans against the side of the pot before simmering.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the vegetable broth with mushroom broth.
