Hearty Vegetarian Stew 1 Recipe

	Kawa11desho / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago This is a very filling, but not overpowering, stew. Fresh veggies and Tofu in a savory tomato base make an exquisite entree for any meal. Best served immediately, as the crisp veggies will soften if overcooked. Prep:10m Cook:30m Servings:12	Kawa11desho

I love stews, this is perfect and after trying once I guess I could add various spices and herbs.
Just wondering if you have ever tried to freeze this. Time is valuable and it would be great to make a large pot and freeze for on the go type of meal.

I have frozen it before, and it pulled through pretty well. My only complaint was that it made the carrots a little soft, but I'm a nazi for crisp vegetables.

We loved this :) My fiance kept saying that it tasted like a pasta sauce with vegetables in it...it was amazing as a stew but next time I might try it over pasta for a little twist.
