Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 carrots peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 celery rib roughly chopped
  • ½ Vidalia or sweet onion roughly chopped
  • ½ block firm tofu broken into pieces with hands
  • ⅓ cup non-dairy milk unsweetened and unflavored
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons agave optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large pan add the chopped carrot, onion, celery, garlic, tomato sauce, tofu, and 1 cup (250ml) water. Let it cook on the stove for 30 minutes over low heat. If you are seeing too much water be cooked out and it looks dry add another ¼ cup (60ml) of water.
  • After cooking transfer it into a blender. If using glass be careful as to not add in hot contents, let everything cool. Then, add in the non-dairy milk, seasonings, and nutritional yeast. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
  • After blending give it a taste and I like to add in agave for additional sweetness.
  • You can then transfer into a jar and store in the fridge, store in cubes in the freezer, or use right away!

Notes

  • Nutrition facts are based on my gram measurements put into Cronometer. Yours may vary, they are to help you get an idea.
  • Please do not repost recipes without my permission. Sharing a direct link is always highly encouraged and appreciated.
  • If when blending you need to add in additional 2 to 3 tablespoons of water at a time to help the blender that is okay.
  • For the tomato sauce you can use pretty much any form of tomato sauce you like. Whether is tomato sauce from a jar, canned tomato sauce or tomato puree/passata as well. You can also use crushed tomatoes or even whole grape tomatoes and tomato paste. This recipe is very flexible.
