Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans (white beans), rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plain plant milk (like soy or oat for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for cheesy flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the rinsed and drained white beans to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors combine.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the plant milk and nutritional yeast, if using, until the broth becomes slightly creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the stew into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a richer, umami-packed flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms instead of just cremini.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mash about 1/2 cup of the white beans against the side of the pot before stirring in the plant milk.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
