Quick Tofu Soup

Ingredients:

2 boxes of beef broth (8 cups)
1 carton of extra firm tofu, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 carton of white button mushrooms, sliced (if you are using this as a really quick meal, get pre-sliced)
6 green onions, sliced
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
2 Tbs Sesame Seed Oil

Directions

In a large sauce pan, pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil. Bring to a boil. Add tofu, mushrooms, and green onions. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

*If you want to get super fancy, and still make a quick soup, most grocery stores sell pre-cooked Udon noodles. Add these in, at the same time as the tofu, and you have a complete meal.

I learned to cook from my grandmother, who was a self-taught home cook. I was encouraged to cook at home by my mother, who allowed me to experiment and feed our family while I was growing up. Now, I cook for my husband and four children, who have perfected the role of taste-testers. What I've come up with are simple, family-friendly dishes based on my grandmother's recipes and my own understanding of how food works together. Gone are the canned and processed ingredients of yore-- instead you'll find fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients combined in ways to suit every palate, and simple enough that even the most novice home cook can execute them perfectly. In short, it's not quite my grandmother's cooking, anymore.
