Tofu is made from curdled fresh soy milk, which has been compressed into blocks. It is generally 100% gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.

Tofu has a neutral flavor that easily absord any seasoning you want to add.

Tofu is a vegetarian protein rich in calcium and protein. Tofu is also a great source of amino acids and is low in calories. Try to buy your tofu Organic or GMO-free

There are two main categories of tofu – silky or firm. The silky tofu is soft and liquidy because it contains a high volume of water content. Firm tofu can be medium, firm or extra-firm. For this recipe, you will need firm or extra-firm tofu.

Well I did it and ended up with this delicious vegan vegetable and tofu Stew! I admit it doesn't taste exactly the same, but we're close. It's a tasty recipe to enjoy on a cold fall day. I don't know about you, but having my cold hands on a hot bowl filled with tasty ingredients is a real treat!
