Recipe for Tuscan White Bean Stew by Farm Boy

This Tuscan White Bean Stew recipe is a great, comforting, and satisfying dish. Make it vegan by switching out the broths. If you can’t find cannellini beans, use the same amount of white kidney or navy beans. If you want this to be more of a soup, simply increase the amount of broth. You can easily add some protein by cooking up some sausage before you add the veggies. This makes a large batch and it’s great for easy meals during the week.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish

• 1 cup carrot diced
• 1 1/4 cups celery diced
• 2-3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tsp Farm Boy™ Organic Italian Seasoning Mix
• ½ tsp Farm Boy™ Organic Crushed Dried Chili Peppers or more to taste
• 1 tsp Farm Boy™ Organic Paprika
• 1 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Organic Tomato Paste
• 1 can Farm Boy™ Diced Tomatoes with Garlic, Basil and Oregano
• 3 x 400g cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
• 2-3 cups Farm Boy™ Organic Chicken Bone Broth or Farm Boy™ Organic Vegetable Broth
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 cups kale, Swiss chard, or baby spinach chopped
• crusty bread and lemon wedges to serve

Directions:

1. In large Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and sweat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add Farm Boy™ Organic Italian Seasoning Mix, Farm Boy™ Crushed Dried Chili Peppers, and Farm Boy™ Organic Paprika and cook another minute.
3. Add Farm Boy™ Organic Tomato Paste and Farm Boy™ Diced Tomatoes with Garlic, Basil, and Oregano and stir to combine.
4. Add cannellini beans, 2 cups Farm Boy™ Organic Chicken Bone Broth or Organic Vegetable Broth and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, stirring every so often, to let flavours develop. (If mixture dries up too much, add a bit more broth.)

6. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with a bit more olive oil and serve with lemon wedges and lots of crusty bread on the side.
