  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can 14.5 oz of diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups of potatoes cubed

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Brown the sausage in the pot until cooked through.
  3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir well.
  5. Add the can of diced tomatoes along with their juices.
  6. Stir in the cubed potatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Sprinkle in the thyme and oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45 minutes.
  9. Once the stew has thickened and the potatoes are tender, serve it hot.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Let the stew sit for a few hours or even overnight; the flavors deepen and improve with time.
