Instructions
Begin by slicing the vegan sausage links into 1/2-inch pieces.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Peel and slice the carrots, and chop the celery stalks into small pieces.
Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced vegan sausage to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are browned on all sides. Remove them from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute to allow its flavor to develop.
Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Drain and rinse the kidney beans, then add them to the pot along with the bay leaves, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
After 20 minutes, stir in the chopped kale and the browned vegan sausage pieces.
Let the stew simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty vegan sausage stew!
