Tofu is a fantastic way of adding creamy texture to any soup without adding hundreds of empty calories. The protein in tofu will ensure you stay fuller for longer too!
If you have the time, try roasting the garlic cloves in the oven (skin on) for 30 minutes until soft and caramelised – it gives the soup a more robust flavour.
