01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

4 cups water 2 cubes vegetable bouillon 3 stalks scallions, sliced 3 cups chopped kale 1 cup medium-firm tofu, cubed

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Simmer broth with scallions

Start by pouring the water into a pot and adding the bouillon cubes. Bring it all to a boil, stirring occasionally until the cubes have completely dissolved. Once that’s done, lower the heat and toss in the scallions. Let them simmer for about half a minute to release their flavor. Next, add the kale and tofu to the pot. Cook everything together for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender but still has a bit of bite. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then it’s ready to enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use firm tofu to keep the pieces from breaking apart in the soup.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Simmer the soup gently to let the ingredients blend well without overcooking the tofu.

Serving ideas

Serve this soup hot with a side of steamed rice or crusty bread. You can also garnish it with chopped green onions or fresh herbs like cilantro to add a fresh touch. A sprinkle of chili flakes works well if you like a little heat.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid breaking the tofu. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the tofu and broth.
