Total time: 45 min
Yield: 5
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1/2 tsp dried thyme; 1.5 lbs (approx. 3-4 medium) waxy potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold, red new potatoes), peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces; 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium preferred); 1 bay leaf; 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for cheesy flavour); Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
2
Stir in minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly. Add smoked paprika, dried thyme, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, allowing spices to toast.
3
Add chopped potatoes and the can of diced tomatoes (undrained) to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and nestle in the bay leaf. Stir everything to combine.
4
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
5
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the nutritional yeast (if using) and taste the stew, adjusting salt and pepper as needed. If desired, mash a few potato pieces against the side of the pot to slightly thicken the stew.
6
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or dill, if using. Serve hot.

💡 Notes

For a thicker stew, gently mash some of the tender potatoes against the side of the pot. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This stew is fantastic served with crusty bread.
