Winter Squash Stew with White Beans and Kale

In this recipe for a satisfying fall and winter stew, the parsley, thyme and bay leaves are tied into a bundle for easy removal from the pot later. Use this same method to flavor stocks and soups, too. Fry some bacon in the pot first, if you like, then crumble it over the finished stew just before serving.
