Creamy Coconut Tofu Soup

Instructions

1
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 additional minute.
2
Mix in the broth, maple syrup, lemongrass and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
3
Mix in the mushrooms, coconut milk, and tofu. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
4
Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Remove the lemongrass stalks and discard.
5
Serve topped with green onion and cilantro and enjoy!

Notes

1
Lemongrass – You can also use 1 tablespoon of lemongrass paste as needed.
2
Coconut milk – I like full fat coconut milk in this recipe, but you can also use lite coconut milk.

Storage

1
In the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
2
To freeze. Allow the soup to cool completely before placing it into airtight, freezer-friendly bags or containers. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply allow the soup to thaw in the refrigerator before re-heating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Press Your Tofu Properly 🧊
    Wrap extra-firm tofu in paper towels and weight it down for 15-20 minutes before cubing to remove excess moisture, allowing better absorption of the soup's aromatic flavors.
  • Bloom Your Curry Paste in Oil 🌶️
    Toast the red curry paste in coconut oil for 1-2 minutes before adding broth to deepen its flavors and eliminate any raw paste taste for a more complex soup.
  • Infuse Lemongrass Strategically 🍋
    Bruise lemongrass stalks with the side of your knife and add them whole during simmering, then remove before serving—this prevents fibrous pieces while maximizing aromatic infusion.
  • Balance Lime Juice at the End ⏰
    Always add fresh lime juice in the final minute of cooking and taste as you go; this preserves its bright acidity and prevents it from being cooked off or becoming bitter.
  • Sear Mushrooms Separately for Better Texture 🍄
    Quickly pan-sear shiitake mushrooms in a separate skillet before adding to the soup to develop a golden exterior and prevent them from becoming mushy in the broth.
