👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- TO MAKE THE STEW: ---
2. 2In a medium-sized dutch oven pot over medium high-heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
3. 3Add the chopped carrots and diced celery, continuing to sauté for another 1-2 minutes. Add the On Everything All-purpose blend, smoked paprika salt, and tomato paste, stirring until veggies are coated. Add the flour and stir to combine.
4. 4Add in the veggie stock, stirring frequently to avoid lumping until thickened. Add in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white beans, cubed sweet potatoes, and potatoes, stirring to combine. Add the thyme sprigs. Let everything simmer for about 2-3 minutes before reducing the heat to low and letting it simmer (half covered with a lid) until the potatoes have become tender as well as the veggies, about 20-25 minutes. NOTE: Be sure to stir occasionally to ensure that the sauce thickens nicely and everything remains combined.
5. 5Remove from heat, and serve immediately into prepared bowl(s), and enjoy with a side of mashed potatoes, vegan cornbread, basmati rice, coconut rice, bread or salad, if desired.
6. 6Bon Appetit!
