Instructions

  1. Dice onion, zucchini, summer squash, and bell pepper.
  2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. veggie broth/water for no-oil sauté method.)
  3. Meanwhile, mince garlic. When onion is translucent, add minced garlic and chili powder (plus cumin and smoked paprika if using). Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Add zucchini, squash, and bell pepper. Stir and sauté 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add broth, diced tomatoes, corn, and beans (rinsed and drained).
  6. Increase heat and bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Salt to taste. Add any desired toppings before serving. (I love avocado & hot sauce.)

Notes

  • Richness: The broth is fairly light & thin, so add a 15 oz. can tomato sauce or 2-3 Tbsp. tomato paste for extra richness.
  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeno, chipotle, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, etc.
  • Add mushrooms: Either in place of the zucchini & squash, or in addition to them.
