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

Jackie Sobon
Even if you don’t have your own garden, you have probably known someone that was inundated with tomatoes and zucchini once summer came around. This stew uses much of the produce that summer has to offer, such as zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, and corn, and it does so quickly and deliciously! I love serving this with basket of toasted, crusty bread on the table.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Yields 4 servings

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
  • 1½ cups 315 g cooked corn kernels
  • 2 cans 30 ounces, or 850 g white beans, plus liquid
  • 1 cup 235 ml low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 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.

Notes

I pureed about half of the tomatoes before adding to the soup since I don't like too many chunks and wanted to really taste the tomato flavor throughout. I doubled the spices (as Jackie suggests when tasting if desired) and doubled the salt as well since my canned beans had none and added cayenne.

    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.

    This summer stew looks inviting and amazing. The colors are so bright and summery, I just want to reach into the page and take a bite. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try.

    The stew is a great expression of the summer garden, I am so happy to have access to all the fresh vegetables to use in this recipe. I certainly am going to try the Thai green curry sweet potato soup dish as coconut red curry soup is one of my favorite dishes to prepare and eat. Actually, coconut curry soup yellow, green or red I love them all! Thank you

    This stew looks like a quick but hearty meal. I like that it is versatile because I plan on tweaking (not tweeting) it with whatever I have from the garden. Right now, I have all the veggies. A new cookbook would be great to get me motivated to cook in this hot summer weather!

    I think this soup should be prepared and eaten later as a cold soup for those hot summer days.

    Love during the word about Vegan 8. Your cookbook will be a hit.

    This soup looks so yummy! I don’t have a garden, but can’t wait to go to farmer’s market this weekend and get all the veggies to make this. The whole cookbook sounds fantastic!

    I would love to win this cookbook. My youngest daughter, who just had her first baby, has been vegan for years. Now my oldest daughter and I are trying to become vegan. I say trying because every day is a challenge to find a recipe that we both like and agree on. This book would help tremendously. Thanks!
