This creamy orange soup is the perfect comforting and quick fall-winter dinner. It is made only with 5 INGREDIENTS and all from scratch. The recipe of this soup is simple, so it’s customizable: you can add other ingredients as coconut milk, tofu cubes or basil, is your choice!We like to top the soup with some fresh basil to create contrast (which is from our balcony garden!)As this soup is low in protein, you can increase the amount of it making some fried or toasted tofu cubes with soy sauce.

This is our favourite way to cook tofu when we don’t have much time but we want to increase the amount of protein in our dinners. Want to save this Recipe for later?
