Chunky Italian Stew w/ White Beans

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone! Welcome to all the new folks

 

I made this for supper tonight - soooo good, especially with the wind

howling and the snow falling. (Ignore daughter Meg complaining about

my cooking onions again....)

 

Chunky Italian Stew with White Beans

 

4 oz. whole mushrooms, washed & quartered (1 cup)

2 green bell peppers cut into 3/4 inch pieces

1 onion cut into 3/4 inch pieces

1 zucchini cut into fourths lengthwise then cut into 3/4 inch pieces

1 yellow squash cut into fourths lengthwise then cut into 3/4 inch

pieces

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon dried pepper flakes (optional)

1 can (15 oz.) navy beans, rinsed and drained

Shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

 

In large soup pot, saute mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, zucchini

and yellow squash in 1 teaspoon olive oil over med-high heat. Cook 8

mins or until onions are translucent.

 

Add tomatoes, sugar and seasonings. Cover tightly, reduce heat and

simmer 15 mins or until veggies are tender, stirring once midway.

 

Remove pot from heat. Add beans and let stand 5 mins covered. Serve
