Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
This soup is perfect for busy days when you want something warm and comforting without spending too much time in the kitchen. It’s light, nutritious, and uses just five simple ingredients, making it easy to prepare with minimal effort.
Directions
Bring the water and bouillon to a boil in a pot. Give it a stir now and then until the bouillon cubes completely dissolve. Once that’s done, turn the heat down a bit, toss in the scallions, and let it simmer for about 30 seconds. Next, add the kale and tofu to the pot. Cook everything together until the kale softens to how you like it—usually around 3 to 5 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then it’s ready to enjoy!
