Warm & comforting Vegan Mushroom Potato Stew with Lentils! Richly flavorful and packed with satisfying plant-based nutrients. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free.)

Let’s get our comfort food on! This hearty, satisfying stew is like a warm hug in a bowl. It combines chunky carrots & potatoes with lentils and tender mushrooms… all swimming in a rich, savory broth. This recipe is similar to my Rustic Lentil & Potato Soup but I wanted to post this tasty variation as well. The lentil-mushroom-potato combination is one of my favorites; especially when the weather is chilly.

However, if you’re not a fan of mushrooms, simply omit them and add extra lentils (using about 3/4 cup to 1 cup total). We love that variation as well. This is a great meal for leftovers as I find the flavors are just as good (if not better) the next day after they’ve had a chance to blend and intensify. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!
