Ingredients

  • A tablespoon of fragrant olive oil
  • A hint of minced garlic, about ¼ teaspoon
  • Half an onion, finely chopped
  • Two large carrots, peeled and diced
  • A single stalk of celery, finely chopped
  • Four potatoes, diced into one-inch cubes
  • A touch of chili powder and paprika, about ¼ teaspoon each
  • Half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of pepper
  • A yellow squash, diced into one-inch cubes
  • Two cups of freshly picked spinach, tightly packed
  • One-third cup of frozen corn kernels
  • A drained can of pinto beans (16 ounces)
  • An optional cup of cooked, shredded spaghetti squash
  • Two cups of flavorful vegetable broth
  • Five cups of refreshing water
  • Three cans of chopped green chile peppers (4 ounces each)

Step 1

Begin by warming up some olive oil in a generously sized pot on medium-high heat, letting it get nice and toasty. Next, introduce a medley of flavors by tossing in garlic, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, along with a sprinkle of chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let this fragrant mixture cook until the potatoes take on a delicious golden hue, which usually takes about 10 minutes of occasional stirring.

Step 2

Now, it's time to bring in a burst of color and freshness. Gently mix in slices of yellow squash, a handful of delicate spinach leaves, sweet corn kernels, hearty pinto beans, and strands of spaghetti squash. Keep stirring until the spinach wilts down, which should only take a minute or two.

Step 3

To amp up the depth of flavors, pour in some vegetable broth, a splash of water, and a touch of zesty green chiles into the pot. If needed, adjust the liquid levels by adding a bit more water to ensure all the veggies are nicely submerged. Allow the stew to reach a bubbling boil, then lower the heat to a gentle medium-low setting, cover the pot, and let everything simmer away until the veggies turn tender and the flavors meld beautifully, usually around 45 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize the power of vacuum sealing to lock in the freshness of your green chilies and vegetables. This method helps to prevent freezer burn and extends the shelf life of your ingredients.
  2. 2. Invest in stackable, airtight containers to maximize space in your pantry or fridge. This not only keeps your ingredients organized but also helps to maintain their quality for longer periods of time.
  3. 3. Store your spices and seasonings in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency and flavor. Consider using glass jars or containers with tight lids to protect them from moisture and air exposure.
