I really wanted to make something healthy but different for lunch. I always eat my leftovers from dinner and though tasty, sometimes they can be a little heavy for an afternoon meal. I whipped this together after reading several recipes online and I promise it is super simple. Maybe one of the simplest but most delicious things I've ever made. 

All you need:

Miso Ginger Broth (Trader Joe's)

Extra Firm Tofu - one package

Green Scallion

A large pinch of salt

A little garlic

Extras: I heard spinach, bok choy or mushrooms are good additions. 

Instructions:

1. Chop up the tofu into small chunks, evenly sized.

2. Chop up the scallions and any added veggies, also evenly sized. 

3. Add it all the the crockpot - this may not fill your crock pot if you have a larger one - I have a tiny one.

4. Simmer on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. You want the tofu to be tender and taste like the broth. That's when you can stop cooking it!.

SEE! Super simple and really tasty when it's cold outside. 

This soup was delicious, easy to make and uses very little ingredients. I had to make something for dinner but I had a really long day on Sunday of group meetings, homework help and cleaning to do. I put this in my baby crock pot at like 12:30 and came back around 5:30 and it was perfect. The only thing I would do differently is put half cooked pasta and not fully cooked. I will note that in the recipe. I imagine you can scale this up but it made about 2 servings for me. 

You'll Need:

1 can of condensed tomato soup

2 huge handfuls of spinach

1 can of white beans

1 cup of cooked fusilli pasta - use half cooked for more texture to the pasta

2 Dorot Cubes of Basil

Garlic Salt

Pepper

Oregano

Crushed Red Pepper Flake

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta ahead of time. I keep pasta frozen in the freezer for slow cooker recipes.

2. Put the can of soup and a can of water or broth into the crockpot.

3. Add the pasta, the cubes, as much spice as you like and stir well.

4. Put the crockpot on high for 5 hours and stir occasionally.

5. Enjoy with toasted Italian bread, Parmesan cheese or fresh basil. 

Breakfast and community service are both important to me.
