Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup water

  • 1 10.75 ounce can reduced-fat and reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 14.5 ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 cup sliced celery (2 stalks)

  • 1 cup sliced carrots (2 medium)

  • 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 8 ounce dried extra-wide noodles

  • 1 16 ounce package extra-firm tofu (fresh bean curd), drained, if necessary, and cubed

  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

  • 2 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

  • Chopped tomato (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker whisk together the water and soup until combined. Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.

  2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. If using low-heat setting, turn to high-heat setting. Stir in noodles; cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes more or until tender, stirring once halfway through cooking. Gently stir in tofu cubes. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.

  3. To serve, sprinkle with chives and, if desired, chopped tomato.
