Creamy Tomato White Bean Stew
I am really loving one pot meals at the moment. And this one just takes the cake!
It’s quick and easy, packed full of flavour and creaminess, and just an all-round hearty, filling and satisfying meal. A good balance of plant protein, complex carbs and healthy fats in a meal always serves to keep me feeling satiated, full and energised for hours, so all the boxes are ticked with this creamy white bean, tomato and veggie hot pot, stew, whatever you like to call it!
The perfect Winter warmer if I do say so myself, give it a try!!
