Notes
- Prefer a spicy tofu soup recipe? Add some sliced chilies on top or a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
- Choosing the right tofu! I prefer extra firm or firm in this recipe because it’s more “meaty”. However, you can make vegan tofu soup with just about any type of tofu including softer types of regular tofu and silken tofu.
- Change up the veggies! Vegan soup with tofu is perfect for using up veggies you have on hand!
