Bean and vegetable stew

Loaded with veggies, this bean and vegetable stew is a hearty meal for a cold winters day or when you’re feeling under the weather. You can add in extra herbs and spices or change the vegetables to your preference. This freezes well so you can double the recipe and portion into containers in the freezer for those days you don’t have time to cook.
