This 'chicken' noodle soup is a great option for vegetarians. It's healthy, too!

Ingredients

* 1 Tbs. light olive oil
* 2 large celery stalks, diced
* 3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
* 1 small onion, minced
* 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
* 1 tsp. salt-free all-purpose seasoning
* 1/2 tsp. dried dill or 1 Tbs. minced fresh dill
* 6 oz. small pasta rings
* 4-5 oz. baked tofu, diced
* salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the oil with 2 tablespoons of water in a large soup pot.  Add celery, carrots, and onions.  Saute over medium heat until the vegetables begin to soften.  This should take about 10 minutes.

Add 8 cups of water, bouillon cubes, seasoning, and dill.  Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Raise the heat and bring to a rapid simmer.  Add pasta and simmer until al dente.  Add the tofu, then season with salt and pepper.  Serve immediately.y
