DR. FUHRMAN’S HIGH CRUCIFEROUS CANCER FIGHTING VEGETABLE STEW RECIPE
When we first read his book, Eat to Live – we couldn’t WAIT to try Dr. Fuhrman’s high cruciferous vegetable stew recipe.
It contains lots of cancer fighting vegetables we ALL need to be eating more of!
This vegetable stew is quite savory along with being super healthy.
This stew recipe smells good cooking and it makes plenty, so you can share with your neighbors too because sharing is caring!
Otherwise we recommend reducing by half.
Change up the flavor by sprinkling some sharp cheddar cheese on the leftovers a couple days later.
Use your high speed blender, such as a Blendtec or Vitamix blender, for the best consistency.

BLENDER BABES RECIPE TESTER NOTES
It takes about an hour to prep all of the vegetables, and you will need to soak the beans overnight. Adjust the seasoning amounts to taste and the flavors seem to meld overnight.
Cheese lovers will enjoy this stew with some grated sharp cheddar on top. If you find this stew too thick for your blender, add more liquid.
This recipe makes a lot, so this would be a good one to share with friends or large group, otherwise you may want to reduce by half. Store the rest in the freezer for later.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF ZUCCHINI
Zucchini, is a staple at many farmers markets during the warmer months and can range in color from yellow to deep green.
With its tender texture and slightly sweet flavor, it only has 21 calories per cup making a welcome addition to a calorie-controlled diet.
Zucchini boasts a rich nutritional profile and it offers many health benefits such as a good source of vitamin C.
A water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C dissolves in your body fluids and protects your cells from free radicals, highly reactive compounds that oxidize your DNA, lipids and proteins, causing cellular damage.
Can you please give me some clarification on the nutrition information? I believe I may be misinterpreting that a serving of 2g (2 grams, approximately a spoonful) is 133kcals.
Hi Walter! Sorry about that. When I migrated to a new recipe card awhile back it seemed to have messed up the nutrition calculations for most of my 500+ recipes. sigh. I went ahead and updated the recipe card so it should be accurate now. Thanks for pointing that out for this popular Dr. Fuhrman vegetable stew recipe! Happy Blending ~ Tarashaun
Can I make this in a crockpot?
Hi Sarah! I haven’t tried but I imagine you could on low. You’re really looking to cook long enough for the beans to be tender. Please keep me posted how it goes! ~Tarashaun
How can this be cooked in the Instant Pot?
That a great question! I just got my instant pot and have only made a couple of things in it. If you are able to make this in there please share with me I would love to include those instructions on the recipe! ~ Tarashaun
Bean timing 40 Minutes. Some may take less.
