From Regina, Saskatchewan, Penny Giles writes, “A Canadian prairie winter can be bone-chilling. A bowl of this meatless stew over couscous, rice or with cornbread is all it takes to warm us up. It’s hearty, tasty and—unbeknownst to your family—healthy, too!“

stew can be served over rice (note to editors: this is not meatless because of the beef broth)

Hearty Bean Stew

onions

canola oil

garlic cloves,

(28 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained

carrots,

celery ribs, chopped

beef broth

Worcestershire sauce

(16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

(15 ounces) garbanzo beans

(15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

(6 ounces) tomato paste

chili powder

pepper

This is definitely a tasty recipe. I've made it numerous times; it's a real hit with my family and I always double the recipe so we have plenty of leftovers to eat for days. My changes: I add extra chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt, and I add greens- spinach, chard, kale- and sometimes I'll add some meat, like cooked chicken and sausage. I also use twice as much broth so it is a little less thick. I usually put cilantro in it, either fresh or dried (if fresh I add it toward the end, as I do with the greens, so they don't get overcooked). Finally, I play around with the bean combo, and try different ones, such as pinto beans and black eyed peas. I top it with sour cream, green onion, and fresh parsley. It's always good!

This is a wonderful, healthy stew - my family loves it!

Amazingly good!  I thought the chili powder really brought out the sweetness of the onions and tomatoes.  Oddly reminiscent of chutney :)

This was delicious ,added bell pepper ,jalapeno , cayenne pepper and cumin. Put sour cream , cheese and green onion on top. Definitely will make again , its a keeper.

This stew was very good. I usually try to make new recipes exactly but I couldn't find garbanzo beans so I got great northern beans instead, my husband doesn't like celery so I used baby spinach instead, and I accidentally grabbed Italian tomato paste. With these few changes, this still came out tasty. I will definitely be making this again.

This is a family favorite, and I've made it for lots of guests. Everyone loves it. I make it as is, but I like the idea of adding spinach, as another reviewer did. I'll try that next time.
