EASY TOFU SOUP RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Toss tofu with 2 tablespoons tamari in a shallow bowl. Cut dark green parts from scallions; reserve. Thinly slice light green and white parts of scallions.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add light green and white parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, star anise, and remaining 2 table-spoons tamari; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Drain tofu, discarding any remaining liquid. Add tofu to skillet; cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Discard star anise from soup. Increase heat to medium-high. Add rice noodles and chard; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice reserved dark green parts of scallions. Serve soup topped with crispy tofu and dark green scallion parts. Serve with chili sauce.

Steps:

• Place tofu in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Add oil and Italian seasoning. Seal bag; turn to coat tofu. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.
• Coat a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add undrained tofu; cook 5 to 8 minutes or until tofu is browned, turning once.
• Add broth and canned tomatoes. Bring to boiling. Add the mushrooms, peas and asparagus; reduce heat. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes or just until vegetables are tender. Stir in the sweet pepper, dried tomatoes and olives; heat through. If desired, top servings with cheese.
