Almond butter is one of my favorite ingredients – not just for slathering on toast, but to add healthy richness to so many dishes. This vegan stew is so hearty and the flavors and textures just scream FALL!
Oh sure, I have made plenty of veggie soups before using vegetable stock. I love using veggie stock, when you’re in a time crunch and you need to buy stock at the store, it is so much more flavorful than your average purchased chicken stock. I have even made a frugal veggie stock using vegetable scraps and corn cobs. No, I am not making that up.
I had never added a dollop of almond butter – upping the flavor and richness dramatically. This hearty stew is so delicious that once you try it, it will become a fall favorite in your kitchen. Perfect for a Meatless Monday supper! Guaranteed.
