I've made it twice now (for my conivorous family) and we have all loved it both times - i do however end up adding fresh basil and i use veggie stock instead of water and veggie boullion, so maybe thats where i am getting off on the flavor alittle. Great recipe though thanks for posting, will definately be making agian! -
This is wonderful. I have made it several times and have found that if you blend the tofu first and then gradually add the water it turns out consistently creamy. -
Made this for when my veggie son & DIL were over & we all really enjoyed it! I did use lemon pepper for the called-for S&P, & also used just a dash of cayenne pepper! Oh, yes, & as usual for me, I DIDN'T peel the potato but cut it into small-size cubes & steamed it! You've posted a really great recipe, & I'm keepin' hold of it for future use!
