Sweet Squash, Sweet Potato, and Tofu Stew

Recipe #299197 | 40 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 , 4 servings (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Munchkin1287

I just created this recipe today and had it for lunch. It was just delicious... I have a bit of a sweet tooth and this was the perfect lunch for a cold, rainy day. At first I thought the ingredients sounded strange, but all together it tastes great! This is very low fat, low sugar, and vegan! *Note: make sure to serve in bowls and get a lot of the sweet broth. Also, adjust the amount of artifical sweetener according to your liking. Like I said, I have a sweet tooth, so I put in 4 single-serving packets of Splenda.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • cup vegetable stock
  • ounces canned tomato, puree
  • 350 g firm tofu, cubed
  • cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • cups spinach leaves
  • 2 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • dash nutmeg
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • teaspoons artificial sweetener (e.g. Splenda)
  • vegan cooking spray
  • Directions

    1. 1
      In a large pot, spray bottom and put onions and spices. Sauté onions for about 4-5 minutes on high heat, or until golden brown.
    2. 2
      Add vegetable stock, chopped tomato, and tomato puree.
    3. 3
      Add cubed sweet potato and butternut squash, and then stir the mixture. Cover pot, reduce heat, and let simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes (or until the squash is almost tender). You want the stock to be bubbling, but not boiling.
    4. 4
      Add zucchini and tofu. Cover and let simmer for another 5 minutes or so, then add the spinach. Cover again and cook until spinach is wilted.
    5. 5
      Remove from heat and add the sweeteners. Stir everything together and make sure squash and sweet potatoes are soft.
    6. 6
      Enjoy!
