Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 14 oz package extra firm tofu
3 tbsp neutral oil, divided (avocado, vegetable, etc)
1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup finely diced yellow onion (1 small onion)
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 chipotle pepper canned in adobo sauce
1-2 tbsp of the adobo sauce (1 for mild/medium, 2-3 for spicy)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp coconut sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/3 cup water

Steps:

  • to 375˚F.
  • Drain tofu and slice block in half so you have two thinner rectangles. Cube, then arrange on an even layer of paper towel, cover with more paper towel and set something heavy on top (like a book) for at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.
  • Place pressed tofu in a ziploc or reusable bag with 1 tbsp oil and shake to coat. Add cornstarch and salt and shake until tofu is evenly coated. Transfer tofu to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and roughly chop tofu into smaller pieces.
  • While the tofu is baking, add all sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If you're sensitive to spice, start with 1 chipotle pepper and 1 tbsp of adobo sauce, and increase after tasting (if desired).
  • Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Add chopped tofu and stir well. Add in sauce and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring every minute or two, until tofu is crispy and sauce is mostly reduced.
  • in a burrito bowl, tacos, or eat on its own!

Tips:

  • Choose firm or extra firm tofu. This type of tofu will hold its shape better in the soup, and it will absorb the flavors of the broth.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water from the tofu, which will make it more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the tofu. Overcooked tofu will become tough and rubbery. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the soup immediately. Chipotle tofu soup is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, or a few tortilla chips.
