Yield 8 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-cured)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced
1 large bunch Swiss chard (10 to 12 ounces)
4 cups water
One 16-ounce can salt-free diced tomatoes, undrained
One 10- to 12-ounce package frozen vegan tortellini (such as tofu- or spinach-filled), partially thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
1 medium yellow summer squash, finely diced
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cover the dried tomatoes with about 1 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Let stand until needed.
  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots and sauté over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until all are golden.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the chard well, trim away the thick midribs, and cut into approximately 1/2-by-2-inch shreds. Place in another large pot with just enough water to keep the bottom of the pot moist. Cover and cook until just tender and bright green, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
  • Add the water, tomatoes, tortellini, and seasoning to the soup pot. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender.
  • Add the squash and dill. Cover and simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the tortellini and the squash are done. Stir in the reserved chard, and add more water if needed to give the stew a moist yet not soupy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then serve at once, garnishing each serving with a few strips of basil.

This stew is also great for meal prep. I made a big batch on the weekend, and then I had leftovers for lunch and dinner all week. It's a great way to save time and money.

I made this stew in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and convenient, and the stew was delicious.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and warming. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect comfort food.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I substituted ground beef in this recipe. It turned out great! The ground beef added a nice heartiness to the stew.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover chard, tomatoes, and sausage, and this stew was the perfect way to use them up. It all came together in a delicious and satisfying meal.

I added some extra vegetables to this stew, such as carrots and celery, and it turned out even better. The extra vegetables added a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish.

This dish is so simple to make, yet so packed with flavor. I love that it's a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup a breeze. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
