Vegetable Stew Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and leeks, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried basil. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add the diced tomatoes, white beans, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Kale

    Once simmering, add the chopped kale to the pot. Stir well and let the stew simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the kale is tender.

  5. 5

    Season to Taste

    Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the vegetable stew into bowls and serve with grilled sourdough bread on the side.
