Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Increase heat to high and bring the stew to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
  6. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  7. Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
  8. Once cooked, remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, serve in rustic bowls topped with fresh parsley and crusty bread for dipping. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
