Butternut Squash and Red Bean Stew
You’ll savor every bite of this exceptional one-pot meal that harnesses that subtle sweetness of butternut squash to create an irresistible autumnal stew. The tender chunks of squash pair perfectly with creamy kidney beans and crisp bell peppers so every bite is full of melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Striking the right balance between smoky and sweet, the plethora of seasonings in this soup layer on top of each other to create a rich broth worthy of serving at a high-end restaurant.
Smoky and sweet with a touch of heat, this hearty stew is the perfect recipe for a chilly night. Use two colors of bell peppers for a more festive look, and be sure to cut your squash into uniform cubes so everything cooks at the same rate. For a little more creaminess, add a dollop of vegan sour cream on top. Bon appétit!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers, any color
- 9 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon ground caraway
- 1½ lb. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (4 cups)
