Papaya Soup image

Tinola, a Philippine papaya soup, inspired me to create this. The few recipes I found didn't have great reviews, so I revised one to make it vegetarian and to use some of my herbs and vegetables in my garden.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 small onion, chopped
¾ cup red bell pepper, chopped
6 fresh chives, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
3 fresh sage leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh ginger
1 small hot chile pepper
1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
salt to taste
2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon lime juice
6 cups water
3 cubes vegetable bouillon
1 small green papaya, peeled and cut into chunks
1 bunch fresh spinach, trimmed
1 tablespoon fried onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat coconut oil in a stockpot over medium heat; add onion, red bell pepper, chives, garlic, rosemary, sage, ginger, and chile pepper. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tofu to onion mixture; cook, stirring every 2 minutes, until tofu is golden brown, about 6 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Mix Worcestershire sauce and lime juice into tofu mixture. Stir water and bouillon together in a bowl until dissolved; pour over tofu mixture. Bring liquid to a simmer, add papaya, loosely cover stockpot, and simmer until papaya is tender yet firm to the bite, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove stockpot from heat, stir on spinach, cover, and allow to sit until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with fried onions.

This papaya soup is a delicious and refreshing treat! The creamy texture and sweet flavor of the papaya are perfectly complemented by the spices. I especially love the addition of coconut milk, which gives the soup a rich and decadent flavor.
