Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cube the tofu and set aside.
- Chop the cabbage.
- Dice the tomato.
- Cube the eggplant.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cubed eggplant to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and gets a slightly golden color.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage and diced tomato. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to start releasing their juices.
- Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- Gently add the cubed tofu to the pot. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the tofu through.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the hot tofu cabbage soup into bowls. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Press the tofu for about 20 minutes before cooking to remove excess water. This will help achieve a better texture when cooked.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture in the soup.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, add some red pepper flakes or a diced chili pepper while sautéing the onions and garlic.
- Feel free to customize the soup by adding other vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers to suit your taste.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, or some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro towards the end of cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
