Creamy Broccoli Tofu Soup + Crispy Broccoli Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

  • 170 g broccoli, blanched
  • 70 g tofu
  • 6–7 g garlic
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • A little coconut milk/cream
  • 1/2 tsp chili oil
  • 60 g sourdough bread
  • 35 g mozzarella cheese
  • Crispy broccoli chips, as shown

Steps

  1. Blend about 70–80% of the blanched broccoli with the tofu until smooth.
  2. Flatten the remaining broccoli, top with a little mozzarella and air-fry until crispy — these are your broccoli chips.
  3. Sauté the garlic in olive oil; add the broccoli-tofu blend, season with salt and pepper and cook until warm and creamy.
  4. Pour into a bowl and top with the crispy broccoli chips, a little coconut cream and chili oil.
  5. For the grilled cheese: sandwich the remaining broccoli chips and mozzarella between two slices of sourdough and toast until golden and melty.

Tips

  • Taste for salt before it leaves the pan. The pinch is easy to miss.
  • Keep ginger and garlic moving in the oil so they toast instead of burn.
  • Warm the bowl. A hot dish on a cold plate goes quiet in a minute.
