Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Chop the celery into small pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the oil and aromatics.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the stew to thicken the broth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broth reaches your desired consistency.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh parsley and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy it warm with crusty bread or your favorite side.
