Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Add the drained and rinsed white beans, dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with a wedge of lemon on the side, if desired.
