I have a question for y’all. I make a lot of chicken noodle soup, but was just given a couple blocks of tofu. I’ve never attempted tofu before so:

  1. Can I even make chicken tofu soup?

and

  1. If so, what should I do to prep the tofu? Fry it? Season it?

Thanks!

      Yea, don’t put that in your soup as is. It’s not going to be great.

      You really don’t want to be taking big bites of extra-firm at one time, it needs to be small or thin and integrated into the rest of the meal. Treat it almost like cubes of ham, except it doesn’t add flavour so the flavour has to come from elsewhere. (And chicken soup generally isn’t a heavy flavour)

      What about other meals? It can be great crumbled into ground beef for use in things like tacos. Or crumbled into an omelet. Small cubes in a heavy sauce like spaghetti or curry are great too.
