1 cup dried mushrooms, broke up, stems removed

Soak the dried mushrooms in the boiling water until softened, about 10 minutes. Place the onion, bouillon granules and the 1/2 cup of water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the dried mushrooms and their soaking liquid, fresh mushrooms, red bell pepper, wine and seasoning liquid, fresh mushrooms, bell pepper, wine and seasonings. Return to boiling, mixing well. Reduce the heat and stir in the tofu. Simmer gently, uncovered, 30-40 minutes. Serve over whole grains and can garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Divide into 6 servings, each of which would yield 2 oz. tofu as protein.
