A veggie-packed stew that lets two kinds of salsa do the heavy lifting on flavor.

Celery, bell pepper, carrots, and onion get sautéed until soft, then simmered with chunky salsa, salsa verde, taco sauce, and vegetable broth. Zucchini, mushrooms, and briny kalamata olives go in next, adding meaty texture and a salty punch that keeps this plant-based stew interesting.

The liquid reduces as it simmers, concentrating all those Southwestern flavors into a thick, satisfying bowl. Ready in about 35 minutes.

Pro Tips

  • Use thick, chunky salsa for the best texture. Thin salsa will make the stew too watery.
  • Don’t skip the kalamata olives. Their briny, savory bite adds a layer of depth you won’t get from regular black olives.
  • Serve over rice or with warm tortillas to make it a more filling meal.
