Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 lb. potato white or gold
  • 2 portobello mushrooms about 8 oz, large
  • 2 carrot medium
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour (GF if needed)
  • 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup green lentils or brown lentils
  • 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. tamari
  • 2-3 tsp. Worcestershire sauce vegan

Optional additions:

  • smoked paprika bay leaves remove before serving; fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary; 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Italian seasoning
  • bay leaves
  • fresh herbs
  • parsley fresh, for serving

Instructions

  1. Dice onion. Cut potato into about 3/4-inch cubes. Then cut mushrooms and carrots into bite-sized chunks.
  2. In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. When onions are translucent, add potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots. Stir and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add garlic powder and sprinkle on the flour. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  5. Add red wine vinegar. Stir and heat for 20-30 seconds.
  6. Add broth, lentils (rinsed and drained), tomato paste, tamari, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  7. Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until lentils and potatoes are cooked through.
  8. Salt & pepper to taste. Stir in a few tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or other herbs) before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Vegetables: Add leeks, green peas, celery, spinach, kale, etc.
  • For gluten-free: Use GF flour, tamari, and ensure your Worcestershire sauce is GF.
  • Vegan Worcestershire sauce: I use Whole Foods 365 brand which is organic, oil-free, and vegan. If that's not available, The Wizard's brand is another option. Annie's also makes vegan Worcestershire sauce, but it's not gluten-free. Be sure to check the labels depending on your diet.
