Ingredients
  

2 medium yellow squash, sliced into rounds

2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

2 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Add the Squash: Stir in the sliced yellow squash and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to begin to soften.

        Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Add Corn and Season: Mix in the corn kernels, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the stew to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

            Final Touches: Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil leaves.

              Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the stewed squash into bowls and enjoy warm, possibly paired with crusty bread or over rice for a hearty meal.
