Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) Package tofu
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 cups celery chopped
- 6 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 10 cups Vegetable Stock
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1 (16 ounce) package Pasta I used stars, but any small shape will do
- Black Pepper
- Sea Salt if needed
Instructions
- Dice the tofu into small bite-sized pieces
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions and garlic, sauté for 5 minutes on low until soft. Add the carrots and celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes on low.
- Add the vegetable stock and thyme and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Add the smoked tofu and parsley, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
- When ready to serve, add desired amount of pasta in bowl and ladle the soup over it.
- Once the large soup pot has cooled, add the remainder of the pasta so it doesn’t absorb too much hot liquid.
Notes
*Do not add pasta while soup is hot, as the pasta will absorb all the stock and become mushy.
