Easy Weeknight Dinner: Easy Veggie Stew with Butter Beans

An easy, adaptable recipe the whole family will love. Excellent dish to clear out the fridge, so feel free to add whatever you have left in the refrigerator too. Sorry for the lower quality pictures. Because the battery of my camera was dead and I don't have a spare one, they are taken with my crapy phone (s2 or s3, can't remember, but it still works and does the job.

Ingredients (serves 2-3)

1 can butter beans, drained
2 cups bok choy
¾ cup yellow zucchini, chopped
¾ cup carrot, chopped
1 small sweet potato, chopped
1 small potato or another sweet potato, chopped (I only had 1 sweet potato left)

½ big onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic
2.5 cups tomato, chopped
1-1.5 cup water
Herbs: ground cumin seeds, dried thyme, and dried oregano to taste
