FAQ
Let's hear it for the vegetables that are like the last hurrah in this hearty crowd-pleasing dish. Although I added carrots, little red potatoes, rutabaga and cremini mushrooms, you have plenty of options. Parsnip, turnip, pearl onions, squash and fennel will also work.
Soups and stews really need to simmer for long periods to allow the ingredients to meld together. Taking that a step further, most soups and stews are better if you prepare them the day before serving. Allowing them to cool and then reheating them really helps bring out the flavors and textures.
Expert Tips for Vegetable Stew. Cauliflower, green peas, carrot, french beans, potatoes, baby corn, bell peppers, broccoli are some nice choices. For some umami flavor, white button mushrooms can also be added. Opt to make the stew with homemade coconut milk or any good brand of canned coconut milk.
The main difference between these two dishes is the amount of liquid that's used for each, with stews generally containing less liquid than soup. While there isn't really a mathematical way of differentiating these two, the point at which a soup becomes a stew is determined by how long it is simmered and reduced.
Your onions will be fine, but mushy potatoes and carrots are a no-no. Instead, add them about 20 minutes before the end of cooking. When they're tender, the stew is done.
