Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The stew can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating.

Variations: Swap winter squash for butternut squash or pumpkin for a sweeter flavor. For added protein, consider adding lentils or kidney beans.

Tip: If the stew is too thick, add a splash more water or vegetable broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes to reduce.

Ingredient Note: "Spicy tomato juice" can be substituted with regular tomato juice plus extra hot sauce or red pepper flakes to taste.
