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.
