Mushroom And Rice Stew

I think I could have this for dinner every day.  It's hearty and hits the spot!

Ingredients:

1 Tbl Oil
1 Onion, chopped
2 Celery stalks, diced
8 oz package Mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
Fresh herbs, chopped finely (I used Sage)
4 Tbl Whole Wheat Flour
5 cups Vegetable Broth
1 Tbl Lite Soy Sauce
3 cups Brown Rice
opt: Tofu strips, cooked and cut into cubes
(pan-fried or baked previously)  *Or Chicken!
green onion, optional

Heat oil in deep sided skillet or large saucepan.  Saute onion, celery, mushrooms, and herbs till softened, stir in flour and cook just a little bit till browned a little, and then add vegetable broth and soy sauce.  Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes until rice is cooked.  Try not to open lid often while cooking.  Optional : Add already cooked tofu at the end and serve when all is warm. 

Garnish this dish with chopped green onion and enjoy.
