Easter means for us, as on most holidays: Brunch here, lunch there, coffee and cake with friends, in the evening maybe go out to eat, little exercise, a lot of Sitzfleisch and one or two good drops.
That's why I longed for freshness, vitamins and light food today. The result is this soup, which is also low in calories and vegetarian thanks to smoked tofu and konjac noodles.

ingredients
Any fresh vegetables like:
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- carrots
- leek
- kohlrabi
- Cabbage or other types of cabbage (cut into thin strips)
- celery
- Brussels sprouts
- pea pods
- paprika
What you have or have left over, does not matter at all and is used at will and taste. The different cooking times have to be considered.
The cooking time depends on the type of vegetables:
For example, cauliflower florets need 5-7 minutes, carrots or kohlrabi 15 minutes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and pea pods about 5 minutes. This should be considered and the vegetables with the longer cooking time first in the broth. The other vegetables then according to the approximate times, so it is not too cooked and soft.
Important in this soup is
- 1 chili pepper (makes the soup quite spicy and so stimulates the metabolism)
- 1 thumb piece of ginger
is seasoned with a little salt and / or vegetable broth (bouillon cubes or as a powder)
preparation
- The choice of vegetables now has to simmer in plenty of water, and then try for a while what is missing in the seasoning: soy sauce, broth, maggi, perhaps bouillon ...? This is a matter of taste and everyone does it the way he likes vegetable soup.
- Put the konjag noodles in a sieve and wash thoroughly under running water. They come from the beginning with the vegetable soup, because they are basically tasteless, but take on the taste of the food in which they are cooked. You do not have to be cooked.
- Meanwhile, the smoked tofu is spotted dry. Smoked tofu does not have to be pressed because it contains hardly any liquid. It does not have to be marinated again: I put it briefly in hot chili sauce and light soy sauce, for whatever reason ... (in the end it was a bit too brown due to the sugary sauces, but it was crispy).
- Omit coconut oil in a pan and fry the small cut tofu crispy on each side for 4-5 minutes.
Fill the soup in bowls, spread the tofu on it, sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and let taste.
