Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil chopped
- 2 medium onions
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 4 medium carrots sliced
- 4 celery ribs sliced
- 8 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
- 14 oz firm tofu frozen overnight, thawed, pressed for 30 minutes (I use the Tofu Xpress), and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 quarts vegetable broth
- 12 oz egg noodles
- ½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir for 3 minutes; add tofu. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened, but not browned.
- Add broth and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, add egg noodles and simmer for 8 minutes. (The noodles will be slightly undercooked, but don't worry--they'll continue cooking after removed from heat. This way, the noodles won't be mushy.)
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley before serving.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- No-Chicken broth and bouillon cubes are sold at Whole Foods, natural grocery stores, and many supermarket chains. If you can't find either of these, you can use vegetable broth.
