Step-by-Step Instructions for Hearty Vegan White Bean Mushroom Stew
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in 1 pound of sliced mushrooms, along with 3/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, 3/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 3/4 teaspoon each of sea salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes.
  3. Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the pot and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cornstarch over the cooked vegetables, mixing thoroughly. Then pour in 2 teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, stirring again.
  5. Carefully add 3 cups of vegetable broth and 1 pound of cut baby potatoes to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Add 2 cans of drained and rinsed white beans and 2 cups of dairy-free milk to the pot. Stir gently and continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
