Cozy Vegan Stew Recipes For the WIN!

I’ve lived a lot of places in the US (midwest, southern California, Washington DC, etc.) and New England has the most spectacular autumn season anywhere! All the trees turn bright vibrant colors, the smell of wood burning stoves is in the air, and fresh apples are around every corner.

Its the perfect place to jump into fall and really get a feeling for the autumn season. We love to cozy up by the fire on these chilly autumn nights, and tuck into a bowl of rich and hearty stew.

What’s In This Meatless Beef Stew Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Potatoes: rich and hearty potatoes make the bulk of this stew. Potatoes are perfect fall food, having been grown and harvested over the summer months.
  • Carrots: these sweet veggies give the stew a nice sweetness.
  • Celery: for that fresh picked flavor
  • Onions: for a rich savory depth of flavor in the sauce
  • Mushrooms: help to give the stew its dark color.  If you don’t have fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms are actually amazing to toss into the soup.
  • Green Beans and Peas: I added both for a little extra protein and color, I used frozen veggies!
  • Tomato Paste: thickens the sauce with a deep bold tomato flavor.
  • Diced Tomatoes:  I only use no salt added diced tomatoes.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: for that unbelievably rich umami flavor, but make sure you use a vegan variety if you don’t eat meat (some can contain anchovies).  Annie’s makes a great vegan Worcestershire sauce you can buy here!
  • Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium.
  • Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
  • Corn Starch: the secret to thicken the sauce at the end, it really makes a difference. I like Anthony’s brand organic corn starch best.  I use it weekly to make crispy potatoes and tofu!

What to Serve with Vegan Beef Stew?

This beefless beef stew is amazingly versatile: you can serve it with anything! We normally load it over rice or noodles to make it a hearty dinner. But you can ladle big heaps of stew over garlic mashed potatoes or cauliflower rice.

It also goes really great with my simple sourdough recipe, or even a thick slice of rosemary focaccia! Or you can pile on some herby garlic sourdough croutons if you are lucky enough to have some stale bread lying around.

How Do I Make This Beefless Beef Stew?

  1. In a Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat the olive over low heat. Add the onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the celery, carrots, potatoes, green beans, peas, mushrooms, tomato paste, and Vegetable stock (or water) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce down to a summer. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Herbes de Provance, bay leaves, and stir well to combine.
  2. Cover the pot and simmer stew on low for 45 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. In a mason jar, add the 2 tablespoons of corn starch, and add 2 tablespoons of the hot stew broth. Seal jar with airtight lid and shake well to combine. Add this cornstarch mixture back into the stew. It will thicken the broth.
  4. Serve over pasta, rice, or with a side of focaccia or crusty sourdough.

Dietary Modifications

This stew is naturally vegan and gluten free… but make sure to check the Worcestershire sauce you are using. Some do contain anchovies.  If you can’t find a vegan version, you can sub in some tamari instead, but make sure you watch the salt (tamari is much saltier than Worcestershire) so only add a little amount and taste to adjust.
