Vegetarian Organic Black Bean and Corn Stew

I've been making this stew recipe for about two fall/winter seasons now. It is a very reliable recipe that is super yummy! It is low in fat, high in fiber, and is easily paired with rice, bread, potatoes, etc.

My only suggestion: don't make this for a date night because you will have some gas if both of you aren't used to a lot of fiber :)
