1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the plant-based beef substitute and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3. Add the sliced carrots, celery, cubed butternut squash, and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

4. Return the browned plant-based beef substitute to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the tomato paste until well combined.

5. Add the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

7. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

8. Remove the bay leaf, stir in the fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
