Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the pumpkin puree, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Introduce the cubed potatoes, cannellini beans, baby spinach, bay leaf, chopped thyme, ground cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot.
