Seitan Stew

Here's one of my favorite winter time stews.

Seitan Stew 

18 oz. package chicken style seitan with liquid, chopped

4 c. water or veggie broth (including the seitan liquid)

3 stalks celery, chopped

2 leeks, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 potato, chopped with skin

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 T. dried parsley

1 tsp. each dried savory and marjoram and sage

1/2 c. water

3 T. whole wheat flour

1 T. tamari sauce

Put the seitan, 4 cups of water, vegetables, and herbs in a large pot.  Bring to a boil.  Turn the heat down and let simmer until the veggies are soft.

Meanwhile, whisk together the 1/2 cup water, flour, and tamari until very smooth.  Stir into the simmering stew until well combined.  Let simmer until the stew is slightly thickened and the veggies are very soft.
