7 Soups to Add Tofu To

Tofu is best added to soups at the last minute before serving — so it heats through without falling apart. If you’re using silken tofu, try to add it whole and let it break apart naturally as you stir. For firm tofu, press it first if you have time (see page 483) so it absorbs more flavor from the soup.
