2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups butternut squash, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 cup zucchini, diced into quarters
5 carrots, sliced
5 celery stalks, diced
Fresh thyme off 4 sprigs of thyme leaves
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, roughly chopped (this was roughly 1 sprig of rosemary for me)
1/2 cup Silk Cashewmilk
3 cups vegetable broth
2: 15 ounce cans of cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups loosely packed tuscan kale

In a large pot such as a dutch oven, add olive oil and heat up over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add onions and garlic to the oil. Cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add butternut squash, zucchini, carrots, celery, thyme, and rosemary to the pot. Continue to cook until ingredients are slightly softened, about 7-10 minutes.
Add cashew milk, vegetable broth, and beans to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables have softened and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Carefully take an immersion blender and pulse blend it throughout the mixture to make it slight creamy and thicker. You can do this as much as you want but I like to keep a lot of my veggies still chunky for texture.
Finally, throw in the tuscan kale, stir to incorporate and wilt.
Serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you do not have an immersion blender, you can carefully add some of the mixture to a blender and blend it up and pour it back into the stew.
