Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds potatoes
- 4 large carrots
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 2 cans chickpeas
- 1 large onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 large lemon
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parsley
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Peel the carrots and cut them into thick slices. Husk the corn and cut each ear into 3 pieces.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Peel and chop the onion into large chunks. Thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Cut the lemon in half. Roughly chop the parsley.
In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot, followed by the potatoes, carrots, corn, chickpeas, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Squeeze the juice of half the lemon into the pot and then add the squeezed lemon half. Stir everything together.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid.
Allow the stew to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Remove from heat and discard the bay leaves and lemon half.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the stew before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
