Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 5 medium carrots thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¼ cup flour (all purpose flour or any variety)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 5 gold potatoes unpeeled & diced (about 1 - 1.5 pounds)
- 1 ½ cups frozen peas
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add ¼ cup of broth to a large pot over medium high heat. Add the carrots, onion, and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 - 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in the tomato paste followed by the flour and Italian seasoning.
- Add the potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked. Stir frequently and scrape the bottom of the pot. Add additional broth (or water) if you prefer a thinner stew or if you find that your stew is sticking to the pot.
- Add the peas and cook for 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy! Serve warm with croutons or a side of crusty bread.
