Hot and Soup Soup with Extra Veggies
Here’s one of my favorite – easy to make soup meals. It’s so easy you don’t need a recipe!
Start with hot and sour soup from a Chinese restaurant that makes good quality soup (not loaded with corn starch and msg).
Then at home, add plenty of vegetables plus some tofu — and you have a great, light soup meal!
So this is how I made our soup tonight…
I put the hot and sour soup from the restaurant into a pot on the stove over medium heat. (Our microwave is broken or I could have done this in the microwave in either one big bowl or in individual soup bowls.)
To the soup in the pot or bowl, add:
- thinly sliced green or red cabbage
- lightly sautéd sliced mushrooms
- lightly sautéd (still crispy) diced onions
- tofu, cut into bite-size cubes
Heat the soup until the cabbage is tender crisp.
Top each serving with:
- thinly sliced green onions
- chopped fresh cilantro
If you add a lot of veggies and tofu like I do, then the resulting soup will be like a bowl of veggies in a little broth – a nice light meal!
Enjoy and be healthy!
