Chinese Spinach Tofu Mushroom Soup

Chinese Spinach Tofu Mushroom Soup

Posted 2014-06-16 by Antoinette Tanfollow
Nutritious and fast to prepare, all the ingredients in this soup play an important role. Healthy, leafy spinach adds flavour and fiber, while tofu is a great source of protein, iron and calcium.

Even the small Goji berries help to add a hint of sweetness, alongside ginger that aids digestion and rids the body of excess wind that causes aches and colds. Perfect for winter.



Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
1L chicken stock
500g water
400g package of round spinach
1 x 300g package of tofu
1 x 425g can whole mushrooms
3 handfuls of Goji (wolfberries)
4 thin slices of ginger
freshly cracked black pepper, sea salt and white pepper

Method
  • Wash the spinach to rid it of any sand and grit, then chop into 1-inch lengths.



  • Dice tofu into bite-size cubes and cut mushrooms into quarters.
  • In a large pot, heat up stock, water, Goji and ginger and bring to a boil.



  • Once it starts to bubble, add mushrooms and tofu.
  • Lower heat to a medium then add spinach. Adding it last helps to retain its nutrients and keep its shape in tact.



  • Stir twice, season to taste with salt and peppers.



  • Remove from heat and serve hot.
