Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and add tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Increase heat to high and bring the stew to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
  7. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  8. Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Chop veggies evenly for even cooking. Add red pepper flakes for heat. For a protein boost, consider adding lentils or chickpeas. Keeps well for 3-5 days in the fridge; can be frozen for up to 3 months.
