Veggie-Packed Tofu Coconut Red Curry Soup

2 · Oct 31, 2023 · Daria Patrunjel · Leave a Comment

“Veggie-packed” is totally my thing. My goal for every meal is to pack in as many vegetables as I can. My grocery shopping trips are typically 30 minutes spent in the produce section and 5 minutes zipping through the rest of the store.

The easiest way to eat the recommended 8 servings of vegetables a day is to get a few servings in lunch and dinner–and there’s no better meal to help you achieve that goal than soup.

Veggie-Packed Tofu Coconut Red Curry Soup
All you need to do is start with a flavorful base and add vegetables. You can’t go wrong! This Veggie-Packed Tofu Coconut Red Curry Soup is the perfect example. A creamy coconut curry broth is simmered with onions, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, and bok choy. Add tofu for protein and you have a balanced meal in a bowl.

This soup is ideal for cleaning out the crisper drawer too, so don’t limit yourself to the vegetables listed in the recipe. Zucchini, sweet potatoes, winter squash, cabbage–they’ll all work here. If you’re not into tofu, try a can of chickpeas instead or skip the protein altogether.

While the recipe makes a big pot of soup, it’s one of those dishes that tastes even better after a day or two in the fridge. (You can freeze it too!) The broth might separate a bit, but it will come back together when reheated and stirred.
