Is there a such thing as soy stock for soup?

Answer 1

Yes, I have used tofu in soups before. I have only used extra-firm or high-fiber, as it holds its shape best. I just cubed it up and added it to the simmering soup to heat it through. I suppose you could also blend it into a pureed vegetable soup as well for added protein as it really doesn't add much flavor; it usually takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with.

Answer 2

Tofu is made from boiled soymilk and does not need to cook.

Cooking it will not affect its texture or make it safer to eat, just kill off vitamins.

Tofu is not porous either, so its bland taste won't "absorb" the taste of the broth the longer you cook it. Large chunks of the sponge-like textured soy protein do a better job at that.

Answer 3

no the tofu will rot and produce mold in your frezer

^^ the previous answer is wrong..you CAN freeze soups made with tofu...you can freeze tofu in general! freezing tofu gives it a more "meaty" texture..it WILL NOT rot and produce mold in your freezer..its impossible for frozen tofu to produce mold in a freezer

Answer 4

Yes, you can home-can vegetable soup. This is a great way to preserve those fresh vegetables you've grown in your garden and provides you and your family with a delicious hot meal on cold winter nights.

• In a very large pan - a stockpot or aluminum dish pan works well - combine the vegetables you want in your soup. You can also add browned ground beef to your soup.
• Cover with water.
• Bring to a boil; boil 5 minutes.
• Ladle hot soup into hot jars, leaving 1" headspace.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart, 1/2 teaspoon for pints.
• Wipe rims of jars and cover with lids and rings.
• Cook in pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure. Quarts - 1 1/4 hour, Pints - 1 hour.
• When canner has cooled and pressure is released, remove jars from canner and set aside.
• Listen for that wonderful sealing "pop"!
