1. Begin by preparing all vegetables: dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, slice the carrots and celery, peel and cube the sweet potatoes, and slice the zucchini. Dice the red bell pepper as well.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in the sweet potatoes, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Add the bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and cooked through.
7. Remove the bay leaf from the stew. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
8. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving, reserving a small amount for garnish.
9. Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious Paleo Mixed Vegetable Stew!
