| 13 | ounces Pomi chopped tomatoes (½ a box) or other canned chopped tomatoes |

| 1 | cup water |

Instructions
| 1. | Begin by lightly mashing half a can of white beans in a small bowl. |

| 2. | In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute the diced onions and half of the carrots with a pinch of salt until the onions are translucent. |
| 3. | Add the julienned greens to the pot and cook until softened, which should take about 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of greens used. |

| 5. | Mix in the mashed beans and cook for a few more minutes. |
| 6. | Pour in the vegetable stock, water, dried arbol chili, Italian seasoning, and the remaining diced carrots. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until most of the liquid has reduced. Adjust the consistency by adding more water or stock if desired. |
| 7. | Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 8. | Finish the dish by adding the red wine vinegar and simmer for an additional 3 minutes to balance the flavors. Adjust the amount of vinegar according to your preference. |
