½ cup button mushrooms sliced thick
3 cups chicken broth low sodium
1 16-ounce package potato gnocchi

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a shallow baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the cut vegetables; potatoes, carrots, sweet potato, onion a medium bowl. Drizzle vegetables with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme and toss to coat.
Transfer the vegetables to the baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
In a medium bowl add the mushroom and garlic and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the mushroom and garlic to the roasting pan of vegetables already in the oven. Continue cooking for 15 minutes. or until the vegetables are tender and they will begin to brown slightly.
Reserve 1 cup of the cut vegetables and place the remaining vegetables in food processor (you can also place in a large bowl and use an immersion blender). Add 1 cup of the chicken broth and puree the vegetables until smooth.
In a 4-quart dutch oven or heavy saucepan, add the puree vegetables, 1/4 teaspoon, and the remaining chicken broth and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Serve with rustic bread like a sourdough, baguette, cornbread, a homemade biscuit for a slightly sweeter and softer option.
A green salad with a light and refreshing dressing would be a good contrast to the rich and savory flavors of the stew. You could use ingredients like mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers, and dress the salad with a vinaigrette or a citrus-based dressing.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS:

Allow the stew to cool completely to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Transfer the stew to an airtight container and place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the stew before sealing the container. This will help to prevent any air from getting in and will keep the stew fresh longer.

Label the container with the date and the contents, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

To reheat he stew, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Then, gently reheat the stew in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot all the way through. Alternatively, you can microwave the stew in a microwave-safe container until it is hot.

I don’t recommend freezing.
