Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalk, diced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 8 cups turnip greens, washed and chopped
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned (with juices)
- 1 15-ounce can white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika and red pepper flakes (if using) over the vegetables, stirring to combine and coat the vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the chopped turnip greens, allowing them to wilt down into the broth as you stir.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and the drained white beans.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender and the flavors meld together.
Just before serving, stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasonings to taste.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice, if desired.
