Directions

  1. 1

    Mince the carrot, celery stalk, and small onion for the roux very fine.

  2. 2

    Saute this mixture in 1/4 cup of veggie broth until the veggies are nice and soft.

  3. 3

    Add the large chopped onion and continue cooking until softened.

  4. 4

    It’s ok if the liquid gets a little low – the brown bits add to the flavor.

  5. 5

    Add the mushrooms and cook on medium high until they lose their liquid.

  6. 6

    Season with the rosemary and italian seasoning.

  7. 7

    Add the wine and deglaze any brown spots in your pan. (This is the good stuff!)

  8. 8

    After a few minutes add the rest of the broth, the tomatoes and tomato sauce.

  9. 9

    Add all your chopped veggies and turn the heat up to boil.

  10. 10

    Add the rest of the seasonings – but not the cornstarch.

  11. 11

    Once it’s boiling, turn down the heat to low and add the peas.

  12. 12

    Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir this in to thicken.

  13. 13

    Simmer to desired consistency.
