Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach

Fresh basil for garnish

Crusty bread for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

    Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped red bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

      Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), white beans, vegetable broth, coconut milk, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

          After 20 minutes, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.

            Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika as desired.

              Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh basil and alongside crusty bread if you like.
