Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
8 oz tofu
230g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
1/2 tbsp yeast
8g
1.50 cups carrots
190g
1 cup celery
100g
1 cup onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp bay leaf
1g
1 tsp dried thyme
1.40g
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
6 cups vegetable broth
1440g
8 oz whole-wheat pasta
230g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:
1.1 Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture.
1.2 Cut the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes.
2. Cook the Tofu:
2.1 In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2.2 Add the tofu cubes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they begin to turn golden-brown.
2.3 Add the soy sauce and nutritional yeast to the tofu cubes, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the tofu and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
3.1 In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed.
3.2 Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
3.3 Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute or until fragrant.
4. Make the Soup Base:
4.1 Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried parsley, and a dash of black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
4.2 Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Cook the Pasta:
5.1 Once the broth is boiling, add the whole-wheat pasta.
5.2 Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook according to the package instructions until the pasta is al dente (usually around 8-10 minutes).
6. Combine and Finish:
6.1 When the pasta is nearly done, return the sautéed tofu to the pot.
6.2 Stir in the lemon juice.
6.3 Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow all flavors to meld together.
7. Serve:
7.1 Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7.2 Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Press the tofu for at least 15-20 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture for better texture.

- Cut the tofu into small cubes so it resembles chicken pieces in the soup.

- Sauté the vegetables first to develop deeper flavors before adding the broth.

- Add pasta towards the end of cooking to prevent it from becoming too soft.

- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more pepper or lemon juice as preferred.

With its rich broth, tender vegetables, and savory tofu, this Tofu noodle soup offers all the comforting qualities of the classic chicken noodle soup with a plant-based twist. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious meal that is sure to become a favorite in your home.
