Ingredients

  • 1 (28-ounce) can no-salt-added tomatoes, not drained and chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Preparation

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds and membranes. Place bell pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place bell pepper halves in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and chop bell peppers.
  3. Heat Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cumin and the next 4 ingredients (through garlic); cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bell peppers, broth, squash, and tomatoes; bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans; simmer 25 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with green onions.

**Butternut squash is an easily prepared fall vegetable that is rich in vitamins A and C. Try cubing and baking it, or pureeing it into a soup!
