Ingredients
- Protein source (chicken, turkey, lentils, beans, etc.)
- Seasonal vegetables (pumpkin, squash, carrots, etc.)
- Stock or broth (vegetable or chicken)
- Herbs and spices (thyme, rosemary, garlic, onion)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your chosen protein. If using meat, cut it into small pieces. For lentils or beans, rinse thoroughly.
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing until they become soft.
- Add in your seasonal vegetables and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in your protein source and cook until it is browned (if using meat).
- Pour in the stock or broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until everything is cooked through.
- Season with herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best taste. Adjust thickness by adding more or less broth.
