Directions

1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

2. Add the water, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil.

3. Add the pumpkin and broccoli, followed by zucchini, mushroom and corn along with 1 tsp salt. By keeping the vegetable pieces reasonably small, it takes less time to cook. Tip: you can still use broccoli stems – don’t throw them away! I just made sure to cut them into even smaller pieces since they can be a little tough.

4. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or pasta. It has a lovely mild flavour, but you can always add some sliced chili peppers or jalapenos for an added kick. Enjoy! 😊

You can also freeze this stew for up to 3 months, or keep leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
