Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the diced onions, vegetable stock, canned tomatoes, and sliced carrots.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until carrots begin to soften.
  3. Add the sliced okra, diced red and green bell peppers, sliced yellow squash, corn kernels, sliced garlic, Cajun spice, paprika, fenugreek, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Continue simmering for another 10 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Gently add the cubed tofu and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the flavors.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
