I made this for dinner last night, served over brown, long grain rice. And then I ate it by itself today for lunch, scooping it up with half of a seven grain pita pocket. 

The Ingredients:

Tofu, Extra Firm, 1 block

EVOO, 2 Tbsp.

Zucchini (1)

Red Bell Pepper (1)

Green Bell Pepper (1)

Yellow Onion (1)

Garlic, 6 cloves (I love garlic)

Red Potato, 1 small

White potato, 2 small

Serrano pepper, 1

Jalapeno pepper, 1

Imagine Organic Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup, 1 box (cost me $3.99 on sale at Sprouts), soy based

Curry Powder

Hot Madras Curry Powder (if you think you can handle it)

What To Do:

First and foremost you need to drain that tofu of as much water as possible--for at least thirty minutes but up to two hours!! So do this in advance. This was my first time draining my tofu (HBear always tells me to do it, but I never had the patience, trust me, it's worth it, it makes a world of difference in regards to texture and workability). I put my tofu on a plate, pressed a cutting board on top of it, then added about three textbook like books on top, for almost one hour.

Heat Olive Oil over medium-high heat, chop up your garlic and onion. Once the pan is hot, add the chopped garlic and onion. 

Cut your tofu into one inch blocks, add to the pan to saute.

Chop your remaining vegetables, I kept them a bit chunky. Add them to the saute pan, continue to saute for about 7 or 8 minutes.

Stir in the Tomato & Basil Soup and the curry powders to your liking, lower the heat to medium and let simmer for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat, let the mixture cool and serve over brown rice or however you like.

Lunch: sautéed garlic, red pepper and zucchini, then heated a whole grain tortilla coated in Rice Shreds cheddar cheese.

Yes, I'm too cool to spell out breakfast in my title but I'll do it here, now.
