Cozy Fall Stew with Butter Beans and Butternut Squash
Creamy, cozy, and full of fall flavor, this Butternut Beans dish lands perfectly between a soup and a stew. I tested it both thinner and thicker before finding that ideal middle ground where roasted butternut squash melts into the bean base, butter beans add hearty texture, and every spoonful feels like a warm, satisfying hug in a bowl.
