Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 large carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Peel and slice the carrots, and chop the celery. Add them to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes.
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and stir well to combine with the other vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once it is simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If tender, add the frozen green peas and stir to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the peas through.
Remove the bay leaf, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
