Categories: Meatless Monday

As chilly as it's been outside, no one wants to subsist on salad and trail mix. This Southwestern-inspired stew has plenty of substance for keeping the body warm: potatoes, black beans, corn and carrots cooked in a savory, smoky chipotle-adobo broth that's got the perfect amount of heat to warm you from the inside out. Adapted from Vegan With a Vengeance, it's perfect for lunch or dinner -- especially with a slice of cornbread. (Next week ...)

1. Peel and quarter the onion.

That should make it easier to thinly slice.
