  Omg is all I can say. I’ve been making this recipe for over a year and it’s one of my go to staples when it’s chilly outside. It’s so healthy and tastes amazing.

  This is the first vegan stew recipe I've found that is actually hearty and thick like stews should be. I think next time I'm going to add a handful of farro or barley to make it even more substantial, and more garlic and liquid smoke because I'm a fiend for those :) lovely recipe.

  I added smoked paprika not being able to find liquid smoke either. It made all the difference for sure! Love this recipe! My new go-to meal prep stew for just me! Thanks for sharing.

  This was the tastiest stew I have ever had and I know about stew being Irish! The flavors are absolutely amazing! My wife who is actually not very fond of stews said she could eat this for dinner every night! I served it up with a nice warmed up French loaf to soak up the sauce. AMAZING!!!! I followed your recipe for all ingredients except for the liquid smoke as it was not in my local grocery store. I may try the liquid smoke later, but for sure, this is an absolutely wonderful recipe. Thank you for sharing.

  Delicious and hearty! Thank you! I subbed 1/2 tsp each of dried spices for fresh.

  Amazing flavour combination!! I used coconut flour, I wouldn’t use it again.. unfortunately it ruined the texture for me. I’ll try again with a different flour!

  I just made this and it's delicious, Probably the most meaty tasting vegetarian soup ever. I added mushrooms which were good. My vegetable broth was not low sodium, so with that along with the soy sauce no extra salt was needed. I used only 1/4 tsp of liquid smoke and that's still almost too much. I'll use 1/8 tsp next time (for the person asking, liquid smoke has a very mesquite taste, I think that would be the main flavour). I added the beefless tips as well. Very yummy overall, it'll be my work lunch all week.

  Made the stew last night....it was pretty good but I found the liquid smoke overpowers the stew. When I make it again I will put in a little less.

  This is excellent!!! My whole family, 13 and 9 yr old included, just loved it. Thanks so much for expanding my vegan repertoire by one! I didn't have liquid smoke, marmite, or nutritional yeast on hand so omitted, but still so flavorful so your base roux+wine+broth+tom paste+soy sauce works well all on its own.

  This worked out great, in slightly different direction. I browned onion, bigger carrot pieces, turnip, and parsnip pieces in butter and olive oil, removed from pan, and then made the roux. When finished, I followed the recipe from there on, deglazed the pan and added all, including purple potatoes and sweet, to my stew pot. Finished as recipe called. Didn't have mushrooms, but would use another time. Used anchovy paste with tomato paste, and aminos instead of soy, and added 1 T of smoked paprika. Definitely a keeper!

  Great flavor and easy to make! Love the punch from the vinegar, love the sweet and regular potatoes together in it. Leftovers are great. Yum!

  Yes, I've added sauteed sliced crimini mushrooms to this dish and id adds a nice unami flavor to this lovely dish.

  I tried this today for Sunday dinner and the family loved it. We used the Gardein Beef Tenders. The liquid smoke was a nice touch. Thanks for the great recipe.
