Seafood and tofu soup is a delicious and nourishing dish that brings comfort on a chilly day. Whether you choose fresh or frozen seafood and tofu, this soup will warm your body and soul with its rich flavors and satisfying textures.
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
6 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
1 package tofu, silken, firm, or extra firm (14 ounces), patted dry and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pound seafood mix (such as shrimp, scallops, and calamari)
3 green onions, chopped (3 stalks, optional)
4 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried, or 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, optional
Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will have better flavor and texture, so try to use recently caught seafood. If fresh seafood is not available, you can use frozen seafood, just make sure to thaw it before cooking.
Choose a high-quality broth: The broth is a crucial component of the soup, so use a high-quality seafood or vegetable broth to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Adjust the seasoning to taste: Season the soup with soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences. Start with a smaller amount and add more as needed to achieve the desired flavor.
Opt for firm tofu: Firm tofu holds its shape better in soups and provides a nice contrast to the seafood. Consider using firm or extra-firm tofu for better texture.
Avoid overcooking the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so add it to the soup towards the end of the cooking process to prevent overcooking. Cook until the seafood is just cooked through to maintain its tenderness.
Enhance with fresh herbs: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like green onions, cilantro, or parsley to add brightness and freshness to the dish.
