Hearty vegetables in a rich, earthy, thick stout beer broth. It's a stick to your ribs kinda stew!ย 
My Notes:
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Meal Type: Dinner, Soup
Special: Nut-Free, Seasonal (Cold Weather), Soy-Free, Vegan Meat
Tool: Stove
Ingredient: Mushrooms, Potatoes, Tomatoes
Servings: 6 (makes about 1.5L)
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
  • 2 rib(s) celery chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 4 clove(s) garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 2 - 4 cup(s) vegetable broth
  • 1 can(s) (473ml) vegan stout beer
  • 3 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 parsnips peeled and cut into chunks
  • 8 oz mushrooms quartered
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) baby potatoes halved (or about 2 regular potatoes and cut into chunks)
  • 1/2 cup(s) tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoon(s) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground pepper
Instructions
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and when hot add in the celery, onion, and garlic. Sautรฉ until the onion becomes translucent and just begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the flour. Stir well to coat the veggies, and cook for another minute to heat up the flour. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth, and scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon to get any bits off the bottom.
  • Add in the beer, all of the remaining veggies, tomato paste, and spices. The beer will foam up, but thatโ€™s ok, the bubbles and alcohol will cook right out. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 โ€“ 15 minutes until the veggies are fork-tender, but not mushy. The stew will be very thick! If you prefer a thinner stew, feel free to thin it out to taste with 1 to 2 more cups of vegetable broth. Remove bay leaves before serving, and serve hot.
Notes
*For gluten-free stew, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour, and a gluten-free stout.
