Add broth, crushed tomatoes, and jalapeño pepper; stir to combine.
  • Bring mixture to a simmer; stir in squash and potatoes gently. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer stew, uncovered, until potatoes and squash are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in parsley. Adjust levels of salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if needed. Serve in bowls; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
