RealAge effect if eaten 12 times a year:
A powerhouse of soy protein and isoflavones, this stew gives you energy to last all day — making you 2.5 days younger.
RealAge-effect ingredients:
Carrots, soybeans, soy nuts, tortellini, parsley or basil (magnesium, potassium, folic acid, fiber, isoflavones, healthy protein, healthy fat)
Ingredients:
• 3 cups low-salt chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 package (9 or 10 ounces) refrigerated small cheese-filled tortellini
• 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1⁄2 package (16 ounces of a 32-ounce package) frozen soybeans in their pods, thawed
• 1 cup packaged julienned carrots or thinly sliced carrots
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 teaspoons toasted soy nuts (optional)
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, combine broth, tortellini, and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 2 minutes. Meanwhile,shell the soybeans (approximately 2⁄3 cup shelled soybeans). Stir soybeans and carrots into the tortellini mixture; return to a simmer. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until tortellini and vegetables are tender. Ladle into shallow bowls and sprinkle with basil (or parsley) and pepper, and with soy nuts, if desired.
Substitutions:
Refrigerated ravioli may replace tortellini, and 1½ cups packed baby spinach leaves may replace soybeans. Just before serving, stir in the spinach until it is wilted.
Tips:
Soybeans now come shelled! Look for them in your supermarket’s freezer case. Even so, shelling beans is easy and quick: Just press on the seam and pop them out of their shells.
