This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some butternut squash and kale that I needed to use up, and this stew was the perfect solution.

I would make this stew again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less kale, add some other vegetables, and maybe use a different type of bean.

Overall, I thought this stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

The stew was too thick for my liking. I added some extra water to thin it out, but it still wasn't quite right.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still didn't have much flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but I really enjoyed it in this stew. The flavors of the butternut squash and white beans really balanced out the bitterness of the kale.
