Crockpot White Bean and Sweet Potato Stew image

This stew was a "throw together, use up what's left in the fridge" meal, but it turned out to be a savory comfort food that ranks high in nutrition while packing a lot of flavor and satisfaction. It takes awhile, but if you're in and out all day it's a great meal to make. Whip out the food processor, toss your veggies in, set your crockpot and forget it honey!

Yield 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup carrot (finely chopped)
1 cup onion (finely chopped)
2 celery ribs (finely chopped)
4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2 sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped into cubes)
2 bay leaves
1/3 cup olive oil
1 (14 ounce) can vegetable broth
water
1 lb great northern bean (dried)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon garam masala

Steps:

  • Toss first eight ingredients into crock pot.
  • Quick soak the great northern beans by putting them into a large pot filled with 6 cups of water and bringing to a rolling boil. Let boil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Let beans soak for an hour, then drain beans and add to crockpot.
  • Add enough water to cover all of the ingredients in the crockpot by an inch.
  • Set crock pot to high and let cook for 5 hours.
  • Turn crock pot down to low, add salt and garam malasa and stir.
  • Let sit an additional 1-2 hours. (The longer you let it go, the softer and more broken down the ingredients become).
  • Give one more good stir and serve.
