Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, for deglazing)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium potato, diced small
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (for creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. If using, pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it cook until the liquid mostly evaporates.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth. Add the diced potato. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in the rinsed white beans and nutritional yeast. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the broth to thicken slightly.
  7. Stir in the chopped kale or spinach. Cook just until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, remove about 1 cup of the stew (mostly beans and broth) before adding the greens, blend it until smooth, and stir it back into the pot.
  • Serve this stew with crusty bread for dipping.
  • This recipe freezes well for later meals.
