Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.25 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1.5 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for thickening the stew
  • 6 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 cup diced russet potatoes
  • 1.5 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp crushed dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.75 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour for dumplings
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt for dumplings
  • 1 cup milk cold
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley for dumplings, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until slightly softened, about 5–6 minutes.
  • Stir in mushrooms and cook until they release juices and brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to form a light roux.
  • Slowly pour in the broth, stirring constantly to smooth out any lumps.
  • Add potatoes, soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover and cook until potatoes are just tender, 12–15 minutes.
  • Mix dumplings: whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, butter, and parsley until just combined.
  • Stir peas into the simmering stew. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough over the surface, leaving space.
  • Cover tightly and steam dumplings over a low simmer until puffed and cooked through, 12–15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid for the first 10 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with chopped parsley and ladle into bowls.

Notes

Make it dairy-free: swap the butter for olive oil and use unsweetened plant milk. For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or a splash of white wine when deglazing.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to loosen the stew and keep dumplings tender. Dumplings are best reheated covered to trap steam.
