Instructions

Prepare and Simmer Broth

Start by pouring water into a pot and adding the bouillon cubes. Bring it all to a boil, stirring occasionally until the cubes completely dissolve. Once the broth is ready, lower the heat and toss in the scallions. Let it simmer for about half a minute. Next, add the kale and tofu to the pot. Cook everything together for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender but still has a bit of bite. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then it’s ready to serve.
