Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb 450g cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cans 15 oz each white beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale optional
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice optional

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms, carrots, and celery, cooking until mushrooms release moisture, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Stir in thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and bay leaf.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add white beans, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, stir in spinach or kale if using, and cook until wilted.
  8. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • For extra depth, roast mushrooms before adding; stew keeps well for 3–4 days in the fridge and freezes beautifully.
