Comfort food. It’s the only thing still getting me through this Winter. Well, that and episode after episode of House of Cards (so guilty), but considering I’ve only got 2 left for the season, I think it’s best to stick to the edible stuff.
Like this stew. With its chunky vegetables, creamy beans, and slightly spicy tomato broth. It’s the kind of comfort food you can actually take comfort in eating because it’s totally good for you, but also hearty, rich, and not lacking a single thing as far as I’m concerned.
This soup in its original form is vegan. I didn’t set out to make it this way; it just sort of happened and was a wonderful surprise. If you need some extra oomph in your stew, I think some shredded cheese, croutons, or even chopped up chicken would be just delightful.
But really, it is divine in its simplest form. Just the beans, the broth, and the vegetables.
Shine on Winter stew! And stay warm, you guys. xoxo

I love stew in the winter! Especially one that is chunky and loaded with all those delish vegetables! Love this recipe girlfriend!
Taylor – thank you girl! Stews and soups in the Winter just feel like necessity. At least here on the East 😉
Chunky is the way to go!! Love al those beans and the kale in this!
Thanks girl. I’m totally all about the kale right now…
Who am I!? xox
Man, I’m so jealous of your progress in House of Cards. I’m only 2 episodes in and dyyyyying to know what happens. Also dying over this stew…this is my winter comfort food jam!
We finished the season last night! Aaaahhh. I need you to finish so we can gossip about it! xoxox
I neeeed this for this awful weather we have been having! Love those big veggie chunks!
Girl, come on over for a bowl anytime 😉 xo STAY WARM!!!
I love a nice, chunky vegetable soup or stew! I try to make a big pot once a week so I can eat a bowl a day. This looks delicious!
Yes! We make a pot once a week, too. Always a little different on the recipes, but always something comforting and hearty. It makes Winter at least a little cozy 🙂
This looks like health in a bowl! Hearty and comforting and healthy all in one? I’ll take it!
The great thing is that it’s so good for you, but also just damn delicious! I ate two bowls last night as a second dinner with ZERO guilt 😉 WIN!
Mmm…mmm…mmm. Totally into kale right now so this looks amazing! Gotta get those veggies in.
This stew sounds amazing! So full of all the best vegetables and hearty beans–perfect for winter. I might throw in some pasta and make it into a vat of minestrone. 🙂
Ooooh I love that idea! Let me know how it turns out 🙂 xo
I love chunky soups. This soup would get me through the winter too.
Chunky soups always and forever 🙂
This is my kind of soup – love the ingredients!
Thanks, Alyssa! I’m all about simple and fresh right now… NEED Summer to get here 😉
