Heat remaining oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat.

Add onions, jalapeño and garlic; cook until soft and onions are translucent (6-9 min.).

Add next 8 ingredients (through espresso powder); cook and stir until fragrant (1-2 min.).

Stir in broth. Add roasted squash and next 4 ingredients (through corn); bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until beans are tender and stew is thoroughly hot (about 20 min.).

Garnish individual servings to taste.
