Savory Squash and Veggie Stew Recipe | Solluna by Kimberly Snyder (1)

I LOVE soups and stews and one pot meals in general! As a busy mom, I appreciate the ease of just throwing veggies and whatever a particular recipe calls for… and then going off and doing other things :). I got a new delish one pot recipe for you- my Savory Squash and Veggie Stew Recipe.It’s loaded with some of my favorite veggies—butternut squash, carrots and celery, and black beans, and is super easy to make.

Why Black Beans?

Beans can make you gassy, as they contain protein and starch. But to help ameliorate this, you can soak your beans overnight and rinse very well, if making from scratch. This helps them digest better. If you are using from a carton, pre-cooked, you can still rinse them very well, and take digestive enzymes beforehand.

I don’t eat beans every day, but I do like to work them into the rotation, as I do recipes using mung beans and lentils in dahl. They are a great source of iron, calcium and other minerals, and protein!

Research has shown that black beans provide special support for digestive tract health, and particularly our colon. This is because the indigestible fraction (IF) in black beans has been shown to help support this lower part of our digestive tract. If we’re keeping our overall gut health in-tune, then we’ll experience more energy, beauty and health overall :).

Another reason I love my beans, is like all foods that are high in fiber—they fill the stomach so you won’t find yourself getting hungry between meals. It’s so nice to feel happy and full!

Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onion is golden (note: you can always omit the garlic and onions if you choose).

Add the squash and all the remaining ingredients, and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, until all the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls over brown rice or quinoa, if desired (it is quite filling even without rice or quinoa). Enjoy!

I almost always overbuy veggies (I can’t help myself!) and have found soups and stews to bean easy way toburn through those “use-or-lose” vegetables that take up space in your fridge or counter-top.

This hearty vegan stew will definitely hit the spot on a cool winter’s day! Let’s get prepping…?

      Hi Anila and thank you for checking out my stew recipe. You can add whatever veggies you like really. If you like summer squash, it’s a similar texture as the zucchini, but use whatever you like…you can’t go wrong. You may just need to cook hardier veggies a bit longer. Let me know what you decide to add, and how you like it. Sending lots of love! ;)

Not adding enough seasoning would be the second potential issue. Add plenty of pepper and some salt and it should taste better. Using beef stock or red wine is better than water for the liquid. Use just enough to cover the meat and vegetables.
