This recipe is traditionally made with fresh cranberry beans. If you have access to them, add them to the pot when you pour in the broth. You can also use cannellini beans.

Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 2 ears of corn
  • 1/4 bunch fresh basil
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 4 cups Great Northern or cannellini beans
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) of water or broth. Stir in 1 cup of diced onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is tender and translucent, 4 minutes. 



  2. Add 1/3 cup of sliced carrots, corn (kernels cut), and 2 tablespoons of chopped basil and cook until the corn is tender, 2 minutes. Stir in paprika (pimentón dulce) and oregano, and mix to combine. Pour in broth and 2 1/2 cups of cubed butternut squash. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the butternut squash is tender but firm, about 15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, pour in the previously drained and rinsed beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
