Broccoli and Cauliflower soup

I have almost given up bread making and my Kitchen aid has not much role these days other than act as my Kitchen decorativeL

I have even covered the Kitchen aid with a cute knit so that it can stop starring at me!

So now I rely on my favorite Bakery Swiss bakes for bread supply.

And what can be a more comforting dinner on a rainy day than a hot bowl of soup and a slice of bread!

So here is a recipe of an easy, healthy and comforting soup

Spinach n Tofu Soup

I haven’t been feeling too well, especially under the weather and travel…Feeling too bloated:-(
I was soo craving for some comfort food ,my mom’s food to be exact....her hot vegetable soup would b the best comfort food on a raining evening
How I wish there was teleportation…..sigh sigh…
Anyways I was in no mood to cut all veggies and slow cook it. So I decided to settle for Spinach soup.
It is pretty simple n quick and is an amazing healthy n comfort food:-)

All you need is
200 gms Spinach
Tofu 30 gms- Cut in small cubes
Small Piece of Ginger
Salt and Pepper to taste

Roughly chop the Spinach and sauté it for 2 -3 minutes till the leaves turn tender.
You do not have to cook it fully; once the leave starts to turn soft you can switch off the flame.
Let it cook for a while and Puree it in a blender with a Piece of ginger
Transfer the puree to a pot
Add in a cup of water and finely cubed tofu ,
Add salt and pepper to taste and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes

Yes, thatz it..!! Enjoy the soup with a Piece of Baguette:-)
