Healthy Vegetable Tofu Soup

Time

  • Prep time: 1 Minute
  • Cook time: 6 Minutes
  • Total time: 7 Minutes

Key Ingredients Needed

  • 4 cups mixed green leafy vegetables
  • 2 tomatoes, cut in to wedges
  • 16 oz tofu (soft to medium), drained
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 cups of broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Green onions, chopped

Instructions/Step By Step Directions

Step 1: Remove tofu from package carefully and place on a plate. Using a knife, cut it horizontally, vertically and on the sides so they are 1 inch cubes.

Step 2: In a soup pot, add water and broth, and bring to a boil. Add tofu and tomatoes and let it cook for 5 minutes. Bring it to a boil again.

Step 3: This time when the water boils, add the green vegetables, and let it cook one more minute or until the vegetables are just cooked and not over cooked.

Step 4: Turn off the heat, add sesame oil, salt, and green onions. Stir gently to mix well, and remove from heat and serve!

Notes/Tips

You can choose your favorite green veggies to use! Sometimes we use spinach, other times we use any mix of green leafy veggies – it’s so easy to just use the prepackaged salad mix of veggies too!
