Make this hearty, creamy white bean mushroom stew in one pot in under 30 minutes. It is a satisfying, plant-based comfort food perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced small
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans (white beans), rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (like soy or oat)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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 begin to brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. This step builds deep flavor.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Stir in the rinsed and drained white beans and the plant milk. Heat through for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not boil after adding the beans.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach or kale until it wilts into the stew, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle the hearty vegan white bean stew into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley before you serve this ultimate comfort dish.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture without dairy, mash about 1/2 cup of the white beans against the side of the pot before adding the plant milk.
  • You can substitute cannellini beans with Great Northern beans or navy beans.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free, making it a great option for a healthy bean stew.
