Tofu soup recipe with tomato and silken tofu

This tofu soup recipe with tomato is an easy and healthy chinese soup to put together. Just like the tofu soup with fresh shrimps.

2 of my favourite soup ingredients: tofu and tomato.

Tomato is considered one of the top 10 cancer fighting food. It is really nutritious and packed with anti-oxidants.

It is also believed to help in lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

The bright red tomato color makes the soup "cheery" (if I can describe a soup in this manner).

Ingredients
2 large tomatoes
1 box of silken tofu
soup stock
2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Wash the tomatoes, score the skin with a knife. Blanch with hot water to help remove the skin. Removing the skin is optional. I usually skip this step as I like tomato skin. But it is hard to digest and so may not be suitable for young children and the elderly
2. Place the tomatoes in a pot and add enough soup stock to cover the tomato
3. Bring to a boil on high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes
4. Bring the soup back to a boil
5. Add the tofu and let it cook for approximately 2 minutes
6. Add salt to taste
