\"stew<\/a>I like a hearty brown stew when the weather turns cool. That used to mean pot roasts and beef stews but these days I enjoy lighter fare.\u00a0 The secret to this dish is letting roasted veggies<\/a> and herbs cook down into a thick gravy, then add fresh chopped veggies the last 10 minutes — I like cooked veggies to have a light crunch.\u00a0 Earlier I’d roasted some veggies<\/a>, so I added a cup each of roasted carrots and celery and onions<\/strong> <\/span>to a 2 quart saucepan, then added two 1-quart cartons of low sodium chicken broth<\/strong><\/span>. I chopped 2 large russet potatoes<\/strong><\/span> very finely diced, and 16 oz of white mushrooms<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 I added a teaspoon each of\u00a0turmeric, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried basil, dried tarragon, crushed fennel seeds, paprika <\/strong>and 1 tbsp<\/span> fresh chopped rosemary <\/strong>and<\/span> chili powder<\/strong><\/span>. I added 2 dried bay leaves<\/strong><\/span>, left the pot slightly uncovered and brought it to a simmer for 40 minutes. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I used a hand mixer to puree the soup down to a smooth consistency. The potatoes melt into the broth making a thick gravy.\u00a0 Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed.<\/p>\n

Then I add another half cup of chopped carrots, a cup of chopped green beans and a handful each of mushrooms and kale and cook another 10 minutes until carrots and green beans are almost cooked but have a slight crunch to them.<\/p>\n

This cooks into a very thick, flavorful and hearty meatless dish.<\/p>\n
