Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their juices.
Add the halved baby potatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the stew, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, soy sauce, all-purpose flour, and water to create a slurry.
Stir the slurry into the stew and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the stew thickens.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
