Looking for something hearty and healthy? Try this super-simple, vegan stew with beans and kale. I prefer cannellini beans (also known as white kidney beans), but navy beans and great northern beans will do just fine. Also, if you're not usually a fan of kale, give this recipe a try. The kale will wilt in the broth and complement the beans.
