Vegetable Stew Recipe

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Collect all the fresh vegetables you love, such as carrots, potatoes, green beans, peas, and bell peppers. You'll also need onions, garlic, tomatoes, vegetable broth, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme and bay leaves.

Step 2: Prepare Vegetables

Peel and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and dice the onions.

Step 3: Sauté Onions and Garlic

In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until they are translucent.

Step 4: Add Vegetables

Add the chopped vegetables to the pot and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: Add Broth and Simmer

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6: Adjust Seasoning

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs according to your preference.

Step 7: Serve

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot with a slice of crusty bread.
