Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced celery and sliced carrots, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth, making sure there is enough broth to cover the vegetables completely.
Mix in the thyme leaves, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Allow the stew to simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the frozen peas and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary, and serve the stew hot. Enjoy!
