Preparation
Step 1
Fill a pot with 2 inches of water. Set a steamer basket (or colander) in pot; bring water to a boil. Place squash in basket and steam just until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add green beans to basket; steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add broth, and bring to a simmer. Add corn and edamame; cook, stirring occasionally, until brightly colored and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add thyme, along with steamed squash and green beans; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes, stirring to combine. Add 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and season with pepper; stir to combine. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
