Ingredients
- 15 oz pinto beans can drained and rinsed
- 15 oz black beans can drained and rinsed
- 15 oz white beans can drained and rinsed
- 15 oz chickpeas can drained and rinsed
- 1 each onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped

- 2 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
- 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes

- 1 pinch crushed red pepper
- 1 each zuchinni chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by putting all veggies (except corn) in a high speed blender or food processor and pulsing until so small that your kids won’t notice there are veggies in this. Just cut the harder veggies like butternut and carrots smaller so that they get chopped by blades easier
- In a large pot Sauté all the blended veggies in oil, stirring often until you can smell them about 5 mins
- Add drained beans, water, tomatoes and spices and bring to a boil for 3-5 mins and add corn
- Turn down to a simmer for 10-15 mins to let thicken and all flavors meld. Stir often to make sure nothing is burning on bottom. Taste for salt and adjust to your preferences..
