This is my 'go to' recipe, especially for the meat eaters in the family. I always use the maximum amount of worchestershire sauce and cornstarch. I also use pre-baked, marinated tofu that I freeze and thaw out, for extra texture. You do have to watch the salt though. It is usually best not to add any until it is finished cooking and you taste it. Mine turns out much browner (meatier looking) than the photo posted here.

Just all right, I would say. The soup was a little bland. I'm not sure I got the tofu to the right consistency, but the overall flavor of the dish was only about average. Our stew did thicken up and the potatoes were delish.

We enjoyed this! I skipped the tamari and cornstarch and added a few tbs of tomato paste, some italian seasoning and a handful of pre-soaked beans and peas and this became a lovely vegetarian minestrone. It earned a "better than the canned stuff" from my very pick, non-vegetarian roomate, which I assure you is high praise coming from a man with the palate of an 8 year old.

The stew did not really thicken, but it was good nonetheless. However, I would use small diced tofu instead of larger chunks, so that it doesn't stand out quite as much. The toasted tofu did have a good firm texture, and everyone in my family liked it, even though they don't typically eat tofu when I serve it.

I just finished this and it was really thick and tasty not to mention easy to prepare. This is a great "comfort" meal that reminds me of my mom's cooking without the meat of course!
I couldn't find vegan worcestershire sauce so I added a few more tablespoons of low sodium tamari and used only enough veggie broth to just cover the veggies. I will definitely be making this again and again!

This turned out really well for us, it tasted a lot like stew, I thought. We roasted the tofu in the oven to give it more texture and flavor. It got thick and flavorful, like regular stew. I did also add some vegetarian chicken broth powder.

This wasn't at all what I expected. The broth never thickened, and it wasn't even close to beef stew. It made a decent but salty soup.
