Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the sliced wild mushrooms and thyme leaves. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and reduce in size.
Add the vegetable broth and tomato paste, stirring well to combine.
Add the diced potato, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
