Tofu and Bok Choy Soup combines healthy greens with tofu, mushrooms and preserved vegetable in a warm brothy Vegan soup.
Tofu and Bok Choy Soup
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Tofu and Bok Choy Soup is my recipe of the day with Soup Swappers. We post monthly with our favorite new soup recipes. This month the topic is on cabbage soups, which includes, of course, cabbage. But also other forms, such as kale, bok choy, napa, Brussels Sprouts, kimchi and even sauerkraut.
I decided to post my recipe for tofu and bok choy soup. It’s vegan and can be used as a light vegan lunch.
Often I will serve this as a first course in a Chinese meal. It’s light and brothy, which can help offset any heavier fried foods, or meaty stir-fries.
The tofu is light and silky with a smooth texture that picks up the flavors of the other ingredients.

This may be my first course come Chinese New Year….that is if the world opens up and we can celebrate Chinese New Year come February.
Perfect opening for a Chinese meal! I need to try cooking with tofu!
This looks delightfully light and tasty – I love the creaminess of tofu in soups like this!
Awesome soup! you have made exactly how my daughter prefers! definitely have to make it! simple and delicious soup.
My daughter will love this soup, must make it for her.
This was such a great theme, Sue. Thanks for sharing this. I LOVE tofu and it adds a nice level of protein for my veggies soups. Can’t wait to try your recipe.
I have been reading about Chinese pickled vegetables lately, it seems there is some rivalry with kimchi over them. It all looks so delicious!
I’ll definitely have to try out this soup recipe. It’s still a little chilly where I’m at, so it will be nice to have some soup on hand when I’m looking to warm up.
