Soy Pudding (Asian Soy Soup) Recipe
This soup is incredibly easy, delicious and nutritious. Not to mention that it is also extremely versatile. Once the base ingredients are ready, everyone in the whole family can flavor their individual soups the way they like them.
Ingredients:
1-2 containers silken tofu
Organic vegetable broth (2 cups per bowl of soup served)
Other Optional Ingredients (Flavor to Taste!):
Many of these ingredients can be found in a local Asian market, which should be listed in a local directory. If you don’t have one near you, check out the international section of a large grocery store.
Soy sauce
Bok choi
Carrots (shredded)
Onions
Shredded cabbage
Sea weed (cut small)
Chili paste
Bamboo shoots
Sesame oil
Hot soy bean paste
Mustard greens
The sky’s the limit for different ways to flavor this soup. Experiment and have fun. If you discover an interesting and tasty new creation, please share them with us!
Heat the tofu in a covered double boiler until it is warm throughout. Make sure not to stir or move the tofu so that it retains its shape.
In a separate saucepan, heat the vegetable broth until hot (do not boil!)
Using a large serving spoon, place the tofu into a bowl and add the broth until it’s covered. The amount of tofu you add to your soup is entirely up to you. Add your choice of optional ingredients to create your own individual soy pudding soup.
That’s all there is to it! I told you it was easy. 
As I had mentioned, this soup is very nutritious. It is high in protein, low in fat, and depending on the optional ingredients can also be low in sodium and no cholesterol.
