2. Place coated tofu on a baking sheet at 400° until browned (15 min)
3. Brown onion in Evoo
4. Boil carrot, celery, onion, and garlic in veggie broth until softened (10 min)
5. Add tofu and bring to a boil
6. Mix about 2-3 cups Bisquik with enough water to make a thick batter
7. With a spoon, drop spoonfuls of batter over the boiling veggie mix
