Tomato Tofu Bisque Weight Watchers Recipes

Steps:

• Melt margarine in a large saucepan.
• Add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
• Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is slightly browned (about 1 minute).
• Add the tomatoes, broth, oregano and pepper.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until heated through (about 10 minutes).
• Puree the tofu and the reserved liquid.
• Add the pureed tofu, parsley, dill and honey.
• If you prefer you can puree to whole soup for a smoother texture.
• Cook while stirring until just heated (about 3 minutes).
• Don't overcook.

Steps:

• Puree tomatoes in blender.
• Heat in saucepan until hot. Do not boil!
• Add milk and heat again but don't boil.
• Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Arrange tofu slices on a clean kitchen towel or on paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel (or paper towels) and place a flat cutting board or baking pan on top. If your cutting board or pan is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 15 minutes, and up to 45 minutes.
• Transfer tofu to a cutting board and cut slabs into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides of the tofu with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, cornstarch, garlic powder (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano. Add tofu to cornstarch mixture and gently toss until tofu is evenly coated. Dump tofu onto one side of the prepared sheet pan.
• In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing to combine.
• Arrange vegetables on other side of the prepared sheet pan. Bake until tofu is crisp and golden brown, and tomatoes are condensed, 25 to 35 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip tofu and toss vegetables while keeping the tofu and veggies separate.
• To serve, sprinkle cilantro on top and drizzle with balsamic and oil, if you'd like.

Steps:

• Put chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Peel and cube chayote. Rough chop onion. Slice celery and carrots into 1" pieces. (Peel carrot if desired)
• Add vegetables and herbs to broth and heat to a low boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
• Remove from heat and cool. (it is easier to process food that isn't still hot).
• Process in small batches in the food processor or blender until creamy smooth and set aside.
• Core the tomatoes and roast under the broiler or with a flame tamer over a gas burner. Turn as the tomatoes cook. Don't worry if the skin is a little blackened- it adds flavor.
• Roast the garlic still in the skin until lightly brown. Peel and slice.
• Process the tomatoes and garlic in the food processor or blender on rough chop.
• Add to chayote mixture and reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
