To get out of the routine of the most traditional spoon dishes in our kitchen, today we collect Asian flavors with a very simple dish to prepare that inspires us with Westernized Thai cuisine , in a most complete and healthy vegan soup, satisfying without ceasing be light
The recipe we have adapted from Clean Green Simple uses Thai red curry paste , which can be bought in specialized stores and can be slightly spicy, but we can also use a mixture of red curry spices, even from Indian cuisine such as madras – which means spice mix- or make it at home. We have also added extra turmeric because we love it, but it is optional.
With this soup we have an example that tofu does not always have to be grilled, breaded or fried, as it absorbs the aromatic flavors of the entire broth deliciously well and leaves it with a soft and tender texture, very tasty and comforting.
