White Bean Tomato Stew
If you are looking a super simple pantry meal to have in your back pocket, this White Bean Tomato Stew is just what you’ve been looking for. This easy vegetarian stew comes together in less than 30 minutes, but tastes slow-cooked.
This is what I make when we “don’t have any food”. Because that’s never really true, thankfully, and we almost always have these ingredients in the cupboard/freezer. It is SO easy to make and can be ready to eat in 20 minutes.

Ingredients for White Bean Tomato Stew
- Onion and garlic
- Olive oil or avocado oil
- Canned, diced tomatoes
- Frozen spinach (Or you can use chopped, fresh spinach, which is growing nicely in my composting garden!)
- White beans
- Parmesan
- Bay leaf – optional
That’s all you need! I always serve this over rice and I highly recommend you do that too.
How To Make White Bean Tomato Stew
The most labor-intensive part of this recipe is chopping onions. Once you get that part out of the way, you’re basically just opening things and dumping them in the pot.
Just sauté the onions until translucent, then in goes everything else! Let it simmer for about 10 minutes and you’re ready to eat.
