Tofu has a reputation for being bland, but when marinated in Italian seasoning for up to four hours, it's anything but in this veggie-packed soup.

The soup was delicious. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I was a little skeptical at first but this recipe didn't disappoint.

I can’t believe I am the first to review this awesome, super easy recipe. I found it while searching for low carb tofu soup recipes. I decided to try it and it did not disappoint! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I did add a tbs of cream to each bowl when serving, just to add a little creaminess. My husband and I absolutely loved this! Definitely a keeper at my house!
