The ingredients for Tomato and Two Bean Stew are:

1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp cumin
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp dried thyme
2 - 28 oz. cans diced tomatoes, no salt added (I don't use all of the second can, but you need some of it)
1 - 15 oz. can low sodium pinto beans
1 - 15 oz. can low sodium black beans
2 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/5 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
3 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Here is how you make Tomato and Two Bean Stew:

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Saute the onion until softened but not too browned. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute more. Add the tomato paste, spices (including thyme), 1 tsp salt, and chipotle peppers. Turn heat down a bit and saute 3-5 minutes. Add 1 can of tomatoes and half a can of water. Stir well, making sure to scrape up any fond from the bottom of the pot. Heat stew to boiling, and add the spinach. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for at least 5 minutes. Add both cans of beans and add more diced tomato if needed to balance the stew. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.Add the corn to the stew, check for seasoning, and simmer another 3-5 minutes. Serve over your favorite whole grain, top with the mushrooms, and a dollop of sour cream.
