Vegetable Tofu Soup It’s been raining and gloomy here in Vancouver these past few days. If not at work, my family and I have been staying indoors and keeping warm with bowls of comforting soup. Some of the soups that I have cooked and enjoyed by all were chicken and mushroom soup, ham bone and spinach soup, and my family’s favorites, shrimp and fish chowder and fish soup. On the weekend, I tried making this vegetable tofu soup which is vegetarian and very easy to make. It consists two of my favorite ingredients, enoki mushroom and tofu. I used napa cabbage in this recipe but other greens like bok choy may also be used. The chopped cabbage was added to the boiling mixture of sauteed green onions while the delicate pieces of enoki mushroom and tofu were added at the last minute of cooking time. My family and I really love this simple healthy soup. Hope you do too! Vegetable Tofu Soup

    Our favorite Asian fusion restaurant is now open only until 3pm M-F which means we can no longer go there for dinner which means I miss my miso soup with tofu! I’m so happy to find this recipe & can’t wait to make it. Thank you!

      Hi James,
      The packaged tofu is already cooked so you just need to warm it up for 1 minute in the broth. Hope this helps!

    Made with oyster mushrooms instead of enoki since I couldn’t find enoki. Delicious warming soup for a chilly fall night. Thanks for posting!

    Cool. I loved tofu I just don’t know how to cook them. They all break while I’m frying them. Soup looks yummy. Thanks I will follow you in my FB and Instagram

      Thanks for the support Hazel! It is better to use firm or extra firm tofu if you are frying them. Coating them first with flour before frying also helps.
