The perfect Summer Stew from Jackie Sobon’s Vegan Yack Attack On the Go Cookbook! Use up gorgeous summer vegetables, easy and simple ingredients and ready in no time! This stew is healthy, vegan and so hearty. Serve alongside some delicious crusty bread for a satisfying meal!
I’m excited to share with you today a new cookbook from my blogger pal, Jackie Sobon, with Vegan Yack Attack. I shared a recipe from her 1st cookbook, Vegan Bowl Attack, 2 years back and here she is back with her 2nd book!
As you might have gathered from the title, her book is Plant-based Recipes for Your Fast-Paced Vegan Lifestyle. I don’t know about you, but I’m always in the mood for easy and quick recipes without much fuss. That is my own focus for my blog here, so this book had me extra excited.
Jackie’s new cookbook includes these amazing chapters:
- Vegan Eating Made Easy
- Quick Breakfast, Snacks, and Treats
- Prep-Ahead Recipes
- Lunch Box Stuffers
- Meals in 30 Minutes or Less
- Bulk Cooking
- Food on the Move
- Make Your Own Staples
These chapters focus on making your life easier, on-the-go lifestyle, bulk cooking or prepping ahead and not too much fuss. She has so many amazing and delicious recipes in this book. Some of the recipes that stand out to me are:
Vanilla Chip Buckwheat Bars (pg. 57)
Smoky Parmesan Popcorn (pg. 59)
Baked Falafel Collard Cups (pg. 84)
Bagel Hummus Veggie Sandwich (pg. 80)
Pita Pizza Trio (pg. 124)
Green Enchilada Casserole (pg. 148)
Teriyaki Adzuki Grill Packets (pg. 158) Can’t wait to try those!
My goodness, is your mouth watering like mine is yet??
It didn’t take me long to decide which recipe to pick to share with you all. Knowing my love for soup, I instantly wanted to share this Summer Stew. It is easy, fast and super tasty! I loved her use of several veggies so it was incredibly healthy and hearty too. It’s located in the 30 Minutes or Less chapter. I chuckled a bit too, because I also have a 30 minutes or less chapter in my own cookbook coming out in a couple of months!
What I really loved about this recipe is how many fresh veggies she uses. I love, love zucchini so I was excited to use a bunch of it in the soup. I also love the heartiness of it with the white beans. I dumped in a good amount of red pepper flakes and even some cayenne since I really love a kick. It was filling, yet light and refreshing at the same time. In other words, PERFECT for summer!
Thank you so much to Jackie for allowing me to share this recipe with all of my readers today. Recipe reprinted with permission from Vegan Yack Attack On The Go! © 2018 Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc. You can order Jackie’s book on Amazon!
Summer Stew
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon 15 ml sunflower oil
- 1 cup 140 g diced onion
- 2 cups 280 g chopped zucchini
- 4 ounces 120 g green beans
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups 500 g chopped tomatoes

- 1 teaspoon dried basil or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley or more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
- Pinch of crushed red pepper optional1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oil (I just used a couple tablespoons of broth instead) in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions, zucchini, and green beans to the pot, sautéing for 5 minutes or until the onions are mostly translucent. Next, stir the garlic, tomatoes, and corn into the vegetables, sautéing for 3 more minutes.
- Add the white beans plus liquid, vegetable broth, basil, parsley, black pepper, and optional red pepper to the pot. Simmer covered over medium-low heat for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste the stew and season with salt, plus more herbs if you prefer. Serve hot.

Tried the stew today ( on a hot summer day) and it was delicious….i was surprised with how incredibly tasty it was…i never would have guessed it from the simple ingredients. Thank you.
Yum, this is just what I needed to help with cooking up my exploding garden. I’ve been trying to give away as much as I can, but people seem to be getting over saturated wth my zucchini!☺ Thanks for giveaway.
I would like to try the Summer Stew.
This stew looks so delicious!!! I know it will still be good even with all my (necessary no-nightshade) edits 😉 All her recipes sound amazing! Aaaand, no tweeting for me………
That soup looks amazing…
~Have a lovely day!
No tweets for me either. Love this recipe. Trying it tomorrow. May try to put in my Crock-Pot. Too hot to cook in Hawaii.
Tweets are optional, not required to enter 🙂 I hope you enjoy the stew!
So looking forward to trying this soup! Looks delish! Also, thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the cookbook. Looking forward to bragging about it. 🙂
Looks so yummy!
That summer stew looks delicious! I’d love to add your book to my collection!
I don’t have Facebook or twitter ! So I’m leaving a comment!! I am making this for dinner and would love the book:))))
This looks great! …when the garden gives me the go-ahead…
We’ve been having high temps in the 90s in Southern Oregon but it didn’t deter me from making stew last week (Indian-Spiced Chickpea-Potato) and tomorrow I’ll be making yet another stew (African-Inspired Peanut with sweet potato and kidney beans). Granted, they are both crockpot recipes and I love the idea of doing prep in the morning and being able to smell dinner simmering all day long not to mention the bonus of NOT cooking over a hot stove. (Thank goodness for air conditioning!) But this recipe looks yum and the quick prep and cook time are definite bonuses. I would love to win the cookbook. I’ve been vegan since 2011 and I’m all about quick and easy since my general operating mode is s-l-o-w. Thanks for letting me know about the cookbook and providing this recipe. 🙂
Such a great job girl! The soup looks amazing as does her book. I have it on my list to review and now I can’t wait to look through it! Killing it like always!
thank you my friend!!
Mmman that looks good. I like soup year round, gonna make it tonight.
Mmmmmm. Soup!! Must. Win. Book!!
I love your blog and recipes! Gotta won me copy if that delicious looking book!!!
I’ve had a little bit of a sore throat this past week, and this summer stew would be perfect! Looks delicious and so does the cookbook!
I can see myself getting this book, but I don’t like hard cover books. I’ll wait for the paperback. Still, I hope it won’t be a long wait.
