Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 cups kale, stems removed, chopped
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, butternut squash, and baby potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to begin softening the vegetables.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and chopped sage. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the kale has wilted.
Remove the bay leaves and taste the stew. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
