Ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. Hearty vegan stew with white beans, mushrooms, and potatoes. One-pot recipe ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter or substitute olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced (about 7 cups – mix of shiitake and cremini recommended)
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt and pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce (ensure gluten-free as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
  • 2 (15 oz) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups dairy-free milk
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add vegan butter to large pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Once melted, add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Stir in sliced mushrooms along with dried thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-10 minutes until mushrooms brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Add tamari and Dijon mustard and mix well to distribute throughout.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth along with baby potatoes and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. After potatoes are cooked, stir in drained white beans along with dairy-free milk. Simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until everything is tender. The stew will thicken as it cools. Adjust seasoning if needed by adding more tamari, salt, or lemon juice.
  6. Serve warm in deep bowls. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley and cracked black pepper before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use a mix of shiitake and cremini mushrooms for depth in flavor. Fresh mushrooms offer better texture than canned.
  • Quality vegetable broth will elevate the stew’s taste. Opt for low-sodium if watching salt intake.
  • Taste as you go and adjust with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice for brightness.
  • Allowing stew to sit for a few minutes after cooking helps meld flavors together even more.
