Porotos granados is the dish Chileans wait all year for, made when the first beans, corn, and pumpkin of summer arrive. Fresh cranberry beans simmer with corn, squash, and a generous handful of basil into a stew that is part soup, part comfort, all nostalgia.

The beans are creamy and earthy, the corn pops sweetly, and the pumpkin melts into the broth, which is brightened by a big final handful of fresh basil. It’s light enough for a summer lunch but satisfying enough to be a whole meal with good bread.
