Heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Sautee 1 cup of chopped white onion until it turns translucent. 1-2 minutes.
Add ¾ lb chopped pork chops and brown on all sides.
Transfer the pork and onion to a strainer to remove excess liquid and set aside for now.
Wash the acorn squash, then slice it in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside seeds and strings. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the green skin. Carefully use a knife to remove the skin in the grooves. Chop the squash into bite-sized cubes.
In the same pot, add 1 acorn squash, 1 can tomato sauce, 2 cups broth, 1 can white beans, ½ tsp ground sage, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ¼ tsp dried parsley, 2 bay leaves, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Stir in pork, onion, and 1 ½ cups frozen green beans, heat through for 1-2 minutes. Scoop into bowls. Serve and enjoy!
