Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 6

Stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the cannellini beans and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
