Red Lentil Hearty Stew
Catherine Barclay
A hearty, rustic red lentil stew loaded with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and sweet pea‑corn, simmered in a smoky tomato‑thyme broth for a deeply comforting, plant‑powered bowl.
- ½ cup dried red lentils
- 2 large potatoes cubed
- 2 carrots diced or sliced
- ½ cup frozen pea and corn
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 6 cups vegetable stock (broth)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
In a large soup (stock) pot, add ¼ cup of stock and sauté the mushrooms.
Add all other ingredients. Bring to a simmer
Cover and cook for 30–35 minutes. The lentils will dissolve, thickening the broth into a rich sauce while the vegetables become tender.
Season with black pepper and serve hot.
