spinach tofu soup-thumbs up

[Guest guest]

How's everyone doing?

When I first saw this recipe posted, the first thing I thought of was making

this for my Mom...brown rice, tofu, spinach...perfect for her. Well of

course, loving cooking, I had to manipulate the recipe just for the fun of

it. Bottom line, this soup came out absolutely terrific as far as I am

concerned (Mom hasn't tried it yet..still has to come out to pick it up). I

made it last night. I have to give a big shout out and thank you to Susie

for the recipe and inspiration. This is not something I would ordinarily

try, as per the brown rice and tofu. Anywho after some adjustments and of

course having to try it to see how the flavor was and all, I became a fan

and had a nice bowl of it for lunch today....good stuff. Here are my

notes....

 

I added 2 jalapenos and sauted those, the onion and garlic in oil. Then I

added the rice and browned slightly. I then continued as the recipe

suggested. Overall I added 4 veggie cubes. After the first simmer, I added

1 carrot (diced into small cubes) and a green zuchini* (sliced and

quartered). Instead of crumbling the tofu, I diced it. My simmer time was

considerably longer. To season, I added a lot of dried oregano and a lot of

S & P, remember this recipe yields a lot of good soup.

 

Think of all the nice ingredients... brown rice, onion, jalps, garlic,

zuchini, carrots, tofu and spinach...it's like energy in a bowl.

 

Well anyway thanks again to Susie. I will definitely be making this badboy

again. If only I could turn back time a couple of months ago when it was

slightly cold in good ol' Tejas.

 

Cheers,

Shawn
