Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 large carrot, diced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)

1 can (15 oz) white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter version)

2 cups fresh spinach (or kale)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

      Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Incorporate Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the white beans. Stir to combine.

          Add Broth and Simmer: Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

            Creamy Element: Stir in the coconut milk, mixing well. Cook for another 5 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Add Greens: Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the stew, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

                Serve and Garnish: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice.
