Directions

1

With medium-high heat, heat oil in large soup pot or Dutch oven.

While oil is heating, squeeze thawed tofu of all water. It will be dry and crumbly. * Tear into shredded-like pieces or chunks.

4

Add soy flour and stir constantly as flour starts to brown, about 2 minutes.

5

Add cans of broth.

6

Raise heat to high and stir to loosen any brown bits from flour.

7

Add green pepper.

8

Cover pot and bring to a boil, about 3 minutes.

9

Slice the soy links into 1/2-inch thick circles and add to soup pot along with tofu pieces, tomatoes and all spices.

10

Cover and boil until the green pepper is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

11

Serve stew immediately over cooked rice.
