Vegan Tofu Recipe: Chinese Cabbage Tofu Soup

Quick, easy cabbage tofu soup recipe, great intro to Asian stir-fries

Adapted from Nava Atlas's cookbook, Vegetarian Soups For All Seasons

This tofu cabbage soup recipe is light and delicious - with mushrooms & onions adding robust flavor, and water chestnuts for a nice crunch.

We discovered that Chinese Cabbage Tofu Soup tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have mellowed and deepened.

Cooking Tip: It's important not to overcook the veggies in this soup, so it doesn't develop a strong boiled cabbage taste. Let the soup simmer just until the veggies are tender.
