Donna Wood, a member and designated cook of an intentional community in
Arizona, developed her winning recipe based on a love of Asian flavors.
"Adding the tofu was an after- thought," says Danna and a delicious one at
that. The recipe requires that you plan at least one day ahead-the tofu
needs to be drained and pressed, then frozen overnight. This is important
so the tofu will remain firm and chewy in the soup.

Drain tofu, then press for 45 minutes. Wrap in freezer paper or plastic
wrap and freeze 8 hours or overnight. Remove tofu from freezer and thaw
at least 30 minutes. Cut thawed tofu into cubes.

In large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and cook,
stirring often, until it begins to brown around the edges, about 7
minutes. Add onion, garlic, jalapenos and 2 to 3 tablespoons broth.
Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix. Simmer over low heat to blend
flavors, about 20 minutes.
