Chilean Bean Corn Stew. Spicy. Vegan. Amazing. A wonderful combination of ingredients makes this filling so scrumptious.
Chilean Bean and Corn Stew. One of my favorites.
Chilean Bean & Corn Stew is packed with tasty protein.
One of my favorite vegetarian recipes, Chilean Bean & Corn Stew, is a great rainy day meal. Or any day. And October is National Vegetarian Awareness Month, so it's a good time to try a new vegetarian recipe, right?
The butternut squash adds a bit of sweetness and the spices create a depth of flavors. In 45 minutes you have a masterpiece.
The recipe originally came from the Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook and, of course, I made a few changes. I generally substitute black beans for kidney beans, pinto beans and most white beans. Moosewood recipes are always delicious.
This stew freezes well, so make some now to eat and save some for another day.

This recipe calls for transferring some of the soup to a blender or food processor. That can be messy. I highly recommend you get an Immersion Blender and use it instead.
