Brief Description

"This is a hardy winter stew, but the spices make the difference here. Hence the Chili in quotes..." Serves 3 quarts which could yield about 12 servings | Prep Time 15 minutes | Cook Time 1 hour or so. Cook until the hard veggies are tender WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE I love single pot cooking. It's comforting. This stew allows you to build flavors using seasonal ingredients. Change the spice and now you've completely created an entirely different taste profile.

Notes:

Note: this recipe calls out for canned beans. They are great and certainly cuts a large amount of time during the cooking process. However, back in the kitchen, we always cook with dried beans. You are most welcome to do the same. Just allow your time accordingly.
