I found this recipe here.

INGREDIENTS

5 small potatoes, skinned
1/2 lb. tofu
4 cups boiling water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon vegetarian bacon bits
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1)  Cook the water, potatoes, salt, and onions for approximatly 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
2)  While the stuff is boiling, blend the tofu and oil together in a food processor or blender until they are creamy.
3)  After potatoes are soft, add ONLY potatoes and onions to the blended tofu mixture and blend in the blender.
4)  Return the potato/tofu mixture to the boiling water and add the pepper and bacon bits
5)  When hot enough, serve.

NOTES

When I made a batch, I followed several of the recommendations posted in the comments section of the original post, namely:

1)  I added a box of frozen spinach to the boiled potatoes.  This makes it lovely shade a green a provides nutrients.
2)  I added several small cloves of garlic to the blender mixture.  Add garlic to taste.
3)  I only blended half or so of the boiled potatoes, so that the final soup was chunky.

ENJOY!

For the first time, I bought, prepared, and ate a pomegranate.  It’s actually very tasty!

Preparing a pomegranate is a problem not intuitively solved.  This guy provides some screenshots on his blog as to how he did it:

How he prepared it can be found here:

After I did this, my next question was do you eat the seeds?  I think the majority of pomegranate eaters do, in fact, eat the seeds.  This blog has a survey, and about 60% said yes, they do eat the seeds:

The seeds are not harmful; they’re just a little crunchy.  They also appear to have fiber in them:

Recently, I was wondering to myself how is tofu made.  Naturally, Google provided the answers.

Here is a page with diagrams that describes how commercial tofu is made:

And here is nice video that shows you how to make Tofu at home.  It’s really not that hard:

Recently, I’ve been eating vegan.  I bought some books on the subject, one of which is called Simpy Vegan. It’s a recipe book with many simple recipes, for newbies, such as myself.
