One of my Singaporean friends here in Chicago gave me his slow cooker before he left Chicago. That was almost about a month ago and I have been thinking what to make with it. My friend makes delicious soups so I thought why don't I make another soup recipe. :) Considering I only have 2 soup recipes right now.
I wanted to make it a blend of traditionally Asian and Western flavors. And I realise I still my dill in the fridge (from the Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs recipe). And the rest is history as documented below. :)
A truly wonderful bowl of goodness! A super hassle free recipe that you can make while you catch up on your chores, go to work, play with your kids etc. Hearty and healthy in a single bowl. Make your week night a healthy night. Have your vegetables and eat it!
Ingredients (makes 3 to 4 servings):
1. 2 carrots, chopped into medium chunks
2. 3 to 4 stalks of celery, chopped into medium chunks
3. 1 medium potato, chopped into medium chunks
4. 1 small yellow onion, chopped into medium chunks
5. ½ cup firm tofu, cut into medium chunks
6. 2 tomatoes, chopped into medium chunks
7. 2 cloves of garlic, whole and smashed
8. ½ cup turnip, chopped into medium chunks (optional)
9. 4 cups of water
10. 1 stalk of dill
11. 1 bay leaf
12. Salt and pepper to taste
