October 10, 2008, Newsletter Issue #226: Soup Thickener

Tip of the Week

An alternative to thicken soup is to puree some cooked potato with vegetable broth.  You can also use pureed soft tofu the same way. Blend the soft tofu with a little vegetable broth, then mix it in the soup.


Soups can also be thickened with a velvety mixture of cooked, pureed cauliflower and white beans. Substitute 1 part water and 3/4 part vegetable puree for milk or cream.
