Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 large carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Peel and slice the carrots, and chop the celery. Add them to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Peel and cube the russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and stir well to combine with the other vegetables.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the stew to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once it is simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. If tender, add the frozen green peas and stir to incorporate.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the peas through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
