Vegan Irish Stew (SOS-Free)

This delicious vegan Irish stew recipe is salt, oil, sugar, and flour free and is perfect for the St. Patrick’s Day holiday!  Enjoy this hearty stew with a warm piece of Irish soda bread!

In addition to the various vegetables, this recipe calls for vegan Worcestershire sauce.  Traditional Worcestershire sauce contains both sugar and salt, so I’ve included my homemade version of vegan Worcestershire sauce in the recipe card that is salt and sugar free.  Also, when using stout beer, you just want to ensure that you’re using a vegan beer, such as Sierra Nevada.

Place a large soup pot over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic in a small amount of water or vegetable broth for approximately 5 minutes.  Add in the celery, parsnip, carrots, and mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes.  Add in the rest of the vegetable broth, along with the remaining ingredients, and mix together.  Bring the stew to a boil, then lower the heat.  Cover and let simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until the potatoes have cooked through.  Garnish with parsley.  Break off a piece of Irish soda bread to go with your stew!  Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
