VARIATIONS:

Gluten-free Irish Stew:

• To make a gluten-free Irish stew, simply substitute the beer with your favorite gluten-free beer, vegetable broth, or red wine.

Irish Stew without beer:

• As the stew simmers, the alcohol will evaporate, but if you wish to ready it without alcohol, you can use non-alcoholic beer or more vegetable broth in its place.

Veggies:

• I suggest selecting strong root veggies that maintain their original form, but you can add extra vegetables to the stew. Turnips, parsnips, and rainbow carrots are all excellent choices.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• You can serve the savory and hot soup with crusty bread or over-mashed potatoes.
• Pair this soup with mixed greens salad for a refreshing flavor.
• Enjoy it with brown or white rice for a hearty and satisfying supper.

TIPS:

Variety of mushrooms:

• Use a combination of mushrooms such as Portobello, cremini, shiitake, and white button mushrooms.

Avoid overcooking:

• Don’t overcook the veggies. Lightly saute the veggies to maintain their crisp.

Vegetable broth:

• Use good quality vegetable broth because it is the main foundation of the Irish Stew.

Cook Slowly:

• Simmer the stew over a low flame to develop the flavors.

Cooking Method:

• Instead of a stovetop, you can simmer this soup in a slow cooker for four to six hours.

Topping:

• Before serving, stir in some freshly crushed thyme and parsley.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

Fridge:

• You can save the leftover soup in an airtight vessel and refrigerate it for 5 to 6 days.

Freeze:

• To freeze, we will cool the soup at a normal place, then add this soup to a closed jar and freeze it for two to three months.

Reheating:

• We can rewarm the soup (chilled) in a deep nonstick pot or microwave oven for 7 to 9 minutes.

FAQs:

What can I use instead of Guinness stout?

• You can use another vegan-friendly beer, vegetable broth, and low-sodium soy sauce.

Which kind of potatoes are excellent for Vegan Irish Stew?

• Russet or Idaho potatoes are heavy in starch. These will break down and give the stew more thickness. Another option is to mix high-starch and glossy potatoes, such as Yukon gold or red potatoes
