- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- 1 (15 ounce) can great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen lima beans
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 banana pepper, chopped
- Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat; add the onion and cover. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the squash, great Northern beans, and lima beans into the pot; pour the chicken stock over the mixture. Cover and cook until the squash is tender and beginning to break apart, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Stir the corn and basil into the stew; cook until the stew reaches the consistency of pancake batter, about 10 minutes more. Sprinkle the chopped banana pepper over individual portions to serve.
