Steps:

• Add oil then onion to a large pot and saute a couple of minutes.
• Add carrot and celery and saute a couple of minutes further.

• Add zucchini, beer, and 1 can of tomatoes. Cook until heated through.
• Add the other can of tomatoes, tofu, and beans.
• Check for seasoning and simmer a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with whatever you like (I like a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and rough-chopped pickled jalapeno. I like to serve it with a few blue corn tortilla chips and a small warmed flour tortilla.).
