This is a great stew for winter nights, or when you're feeling under the weather. You can adjust the amount of cayenne to your liking and it can also be adjusted to include any vegetables you like (ie: mushrooms or spinach). Blending the beans in the stock adds a nice creaminess to the broth without having to add any heavy cream. Under 200 calories per serving (according to calorie calculator)
