Julie's Coconut Spinach Tofu Soup (xposted)
Julie's Coconut Spinach Tofu Soup
I tossed this together the other night and it was wonderful! Very easy, simple, and tasty. :)
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup green onion pieces in 1-inch lengths
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 cups firm or extra firm tofu in 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 can coconut milk
salt and black pepper, to taste
Heat the vegetable broth until it begins simmering, then add the green onion, garlic, and tofu. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the spinach leaves and simmer another 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper (and a tiny bit Tabasco, if you like) then serve immediately.
Note: regarding the 1 to 2 cups tofu... it depends on how "chunky" you want your soup. :) Or how many people you're feeding. You can also add a bit more vegetable broth, but not more than an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup or you'll dilute the coconut milk too much.
Makes 2-4 servings.
