Quick and Easy Dishes for One - Light and Simply Stewed

Light and Simply Stewed

A wonderful and easy recipe that tastes fabulous. You can also add a couple of slices of fried tofu or tempeh for a richer flavor. Wonderful at this time of year as things begin to settle down and cooler weather is around the corner.  This dish is gently strengthening, warming and relaxing.
