Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add one chopped onion and two minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in 2 sliced carrots and 2 diced potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup of chopped green beans, 1 cup of peas, and 1 diced bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Stir well.
  6. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye to ensure it doesn’t overflow.
  7. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  8. After simmering, taste the stew and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Remove the pot from heat and serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
