Vegetable Tofu Soup with Lemongrass and Coconut Milk
0
Uncle Jeffy
"This is a Vietnamese-inspired soup, showcasing the fragrance of lemongrass. So good! Serve garnished with chopped cilantro. Depending on the curry powder you use, you may want to kick the heat up a notch with some chopped red chile peppers or hot sauce."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- If you can buy tofu deep-fried you can save some effort here. You could also fry the tofu ahead of time if you like.
- The soup should be pretty thick, almost stew-like, but if it gets too thick while simmering, add a bit more water or stock to get the desired consistency.
