tofu soup

<p>Coconut Curry Soup - this easy recipe can be made with almost ANY vegetables you have on hand! Silky-smooth and full of flavor. Vegetarian and vegan!</p>

Anything-You-Have Coconut Curry Soup

onion, chopped

garlic,

ginger,

red curry paste

turmeric

salt

sugar

baby yukon potatoes

coconut milk

vegetable broth

tofu

anything you have for fresh veggie toppings! see notes

PREP

Start smushing the tofu in that nifty TOFU PRESS. It&#8217;s amazing. (Or rig up some kind of system to press the water out of the tofu while you prepare the soup.)

SIMMER SOUP

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir fry for a few minutes until fragrant. Don&#8217;t let the garlic burn or brown. Add the curry paste, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Stir fry for another few minutes. Add the potatoes, coconut milk, and broth. Simmer until the potatoes are soft.

BLEND SOUP

Allow to cool slightly (I can never wait very long&#8230;) then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth and silky. The soup should be rich and thick so that it coats the back of a spoon. Add in more water or broth (I think I ended up adding about 2-3 cups) to thin out the soup as needed.

FRY TOFU

Remove the tofu from the press and cut into small pieces. In the same pot, heat a little more oil and add the tofu, stir frying until light golden brown. Pour in a small amount of the pureed soup &#8211; it will sizzle and pop, and it will also give the tofu the most wonderful color and caramelized exterior. Remove from heat with the tofu is deep golden brown and crispy.

TOP AND SERVE

Top each serving of soup with fresh veggie toppings and crispy caramelized tofu and enjoy your luscious salad-meets-soup combo.

This is perfect! I'm the only person in my family who doesn't eat meat, so adding in the proteins and veggies when serving is genius! We added chickpeas, cauliflower and sweet potato rice,  peas, and sauteed chicken.

This soup looks so incredible, Lindsay!  I love all those colors!

So, two question:
One: Can I use your curry paste recipe here and just omit the onions, garlic, and ginger?

Two: can you tell me what kind of peeler you are using on your carrots? I totally need a new one.

Soondubu Jjigae | Spicy Korean Soft Tofu Soup

tofu (11 ounces; see Note 1)

mushrooms (enoki

sesame oil

sea salt (or

scallions ((optional) chopped for garnish)

kimchi (chopped with juice)

onions (diced)

Korean red pepper flakes

garlic (minced)

vegetable oil

Make soup base

Heat a medium pot or earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) over medium high heat. See Note 3. Add the vegetable oil, kimchi, onions, Korean red pepper flakes, and garlic. Add your choice of protein if using. Stir fry until protein is almost cooked and onions softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Make Soup Base

Add soondubu and stock

Add the soft tofu and gently break it apart. Next pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Taste and season with salt and sugar depending on how salty and fermented your kimchi is. Sugar will balance out sour kimchi.

Add egg and serve

Once boiling, add the mushrooms and crack an egg on top and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

Add Soondubu and stock

This Korean spicy soft tofu soup is made with silken soft tofu that swims in a bowl filled with sizzling hot and spicy Korean soup broth. This less than 30 minute Korean tofu soup is as deliciously addicting as it is comforting!

Korean Spicy Soft Tofu Soup (Soondubu Jjigae)

11 (30 g) medium to large dried anchovies

5-6 squares (10 g) Dashima (dried kelp) (cut into 2x3 inch squares)

Vegetable oil

onion

garlic (about 3 cloves)

Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)

Anchovy stock (or chicken stock, or vegetable broth)

fish sauce

Korean soy sauce

sea salt (to taste)

sugar (to taste)

pack (12 ounces) Korean soondubu (silken tofu)

eggs

green onion stalks (minced)

Prepare the dried anchovies. Remove the large anchovy guts by opening the belly and scraping them out, but leave the heads on. The guts tend to make the broth bitter, especially with the larger anchovies.

Prepare the and dried kelp (dashima). Gently wipe the dried kelp with a lightly dampened cloth to remove any sand or grit. Make sure to keep the white powder (mannitol) on for added flavor.

Boil and simmer. In a small sauce pan, add the water, dried anchovies and dried kelp. Bring it to a gentle boil, uncovered. Reduce the heat to medium high, and boil for 10 minutes. Then remove the kelp and simmer the anchovies for an additional 10 minutes on low heat. Using a cheesecloth, strain the liquid to remove anchovies and any remaining particles. Set aside.

(Optional) Anchovy Stock

Heat a medium pot or earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) over medium high heat. Add the oil or vegetable oil, onions, and garlic. Stir fry until onions are transluscent and garlic is lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes). Stir to combine about 1 minute.

Add the protein and stir quickly to coat them with the chili flakes. Next, the fish sauce and soy sauce and mix until combined.

Add the anchovy stock or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil about 3 minutes.

Then, add the soft tofu, mushrooms and egg and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and sugar, if required.

Lastly, top with sesame oil and garnish with green onions. Serve with rice and Korean side dishes. Enjoy!

Spicy Soft Tofu Soup

This simple Chinese tofu soup recipe is flavorful, filling, and easy, with just 11 basic ingredients—many of which you probably have already!

Tofu Soup (An Easy Chinese Recipe!)

chicken stock ((or vegetable stock))

neutral oil

mushrooms

cabbage

Salt ((to taste))

white pepper

cilantro leaves ((and/or scallions))

In a pot, bring the chicken stock and water to a boil. Once boiling, cover, and lower the heat to keep it simmering. Meanwhile, place a medium soup pot or wok over medium-high heat until it’s hot enough that a small splash of water beads and dances along the cooking surface.

Once hot, add the oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Crack the eggs into the pot, and cook over medium-high heat until the eggs are browned around the edges (it is important to brown the egg well). Flip the eggs over and do the same to the other side, making sure the eggs are cooked through completely. (Runny yolk will cloud the soup.)

Transfer the fried eggs onto a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces. Return the egg pieces to the pot. Increase the heat to high, and pour in the simmering stock/water, along with tofu and mushrooms. Cover and boil for 10 minutes over high heat.

Next, add the napa cabbage. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is very tender. Add the sesame oil, salt to taste, and white pepper. Top with cilantro and/or scallion and serve.

This was absolutely delicious and I will make it again.  I used medium firm tofu, since that's what I had.  It seemed like a lot of tofu in proportion to the other ingredients, so I used 1/2 pound, which I thought worked well.  I used king oyster mushrooms, but will try a more flavorful variety next time.  Garnished with Chinese chives and preserved cabbage, which really added flavor.  This was dinner, with steamed jasmine rice on the side or added to the soup.

How does one keep the silken tofu from falling apart?  I gently tried to get it out of the package and it fell into 3 big pieces.  I cut those where they fell but added them at the end so they wouldn't dissolve.  I'll make it again, it's a subtle flavor, but perfect for the winter cold.  I will use all chicken stock instead of stock and water.

Fantastic soup! I love tofu and this was the perfect broth

I made this with homemade chicken broth and added vermicelli and left over meat from a roast chicken. It was a great one dish meal.

I loved this soup but will add ginger root next time. And my husband requester the firm Toufu.

I made it for dinner tonight, and it was perfect for a chilly winter evening. Kids and hubby loved it too. Added udon and some leftover shredded pork and it was a perfect meal :) Thank you!

Made half this recipe for lunch today with vegetarian "chicken" broth and loved it! My husband wanted some noodles in it, so added ramen. Next time I'll up the amount of mushrooms and Napa cabbage!

Nourishing Coconut Tofu Soup is a mix of ginger, garlic, lemongrass, mushrooms and tofu, all simmered together in a savory broth. An easy, healthy meal that’s full of flavor and ready in less than 30 minutes!

Mix in the broth, maple syrup, lemongrass and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.

Mix in the mushrooms, coconut milk, and tofu. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Remove the lemongrass stalks and discard.

Serve topped with green onion and cilantro and enjoy!

Really tasty, I left out the coconut milk as it wasn’t in my press, looking forward to trying it with coconut milk next time. Made for visiting family and went down very well.

Very tasty, the broth is excellent and this is very easy to make. Only comment is that the shiitake mushrooms are overly chewy and nothing really to balance them out

Delicious! Restaurant quality. Used baby Bella mushrooms.  Added a bit of fresh broccoli at the end. Skipped lemongrass. Can't get it here in  my small town. Served over a bit of jasmine rice.

Super yummy and flavorful! Very easy to make too. Will definitely make again thank you!
