• 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the plant-based beef substitute and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Add the sliced carrots, celery, cubed butternut squash, and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Return the browned plant-based beef substitute to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the tomato paste until well combined.

Step 5

Add the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf, stir in the fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
