Beans and corn together provide a complete protein in this peasant-style, one-dish meal, alive with fiery spice. Chiles, somewhat counterintuitively, are among the most potent anti-inflammatory foods. Serve in shallow soup bowls, with slices of crusty Italian bread.
Directions
- Place oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add onion. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add bell peppers, stirring for about 2 minutes. Add squash, greens, and garlic, and stir for 2 minutes. Add bouillon cubes, chopped chipotle, paprika (if using), corn, and 2 cups boiling water, stirring well.
- Bring mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender, 15–20 minutes.
- Increase heat to high and gently stir in beans until warmed through. Season to taste, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
