Tofu Chickpea Curry Soup

Do you miss some family meal when you were growing up? I do most of the times. Because of that reason and inspired by Indonesian curry soup, here I share you Tofu Chickpea Curry Soup. I have to adapt it to reduce the spiciness by using red bell pepper instead of chili pepper. Also just use ingredients that available here.

To make the meal ready faster, use the food processor to grind some seasonings. Use the pestle and mortar is a great option too, but it always takes time to make the seasoning paste this way.

Author: Ina Wrobel
Ingredients
  • 1 can chickpea, rinsed and drained
  • 2 blocks firm tofu, cubed
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 onion, small size
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1-inch fresh turmeric or 2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 4 stalks lemongrass, white part only
  • 3 lime leaves/substitute with lime zest
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 4 cups broth or water
  • 5 tbsp oil
Instructions
  1. Turn the stove to medium heat, put 3 tbsp oil in the frying pan, fry the cubed tofu until it has a slight crust on each side. Set aside.
  2. In a food processor, put 2 tsp of oil, tomato, garlic, onion, turmeric and bell pepper, process until smooth, it is fine if there are some chunks on it.
  3. Use the knife handle to bruise the lemongrass.
  4. In a medium-size pan, saute the tomato mixture for about 5 minutes until it is fragrant and liquid evaporates.
  5. Add tofu, chickpea, lemongrass, cumin, lime leaves (or lime zest) salt, white pepper and broth (or water). Simmer it for 10 minutes.
  6. Add frozen peas, and coconut milk then simmers it for another 10 minutes.
  7. Serve the curry soup with extra lime juice.
Recipe Notes

Bruising the lemongrass before cooking will release more of the flavor and fragrance.

    I love that it uses coconut milk, so I can only imagine the silky taste. I love chickpeas and the fried tofu is tasty. Will try to do this soup on Sunday. I give a 5-star rating because the recipe is easy to follow. Yum, Yum.

      Thank you, tofu will take the flavor from any seasonings, you could always replace it with chicken or shrimp if you prefer.

      Yes, absolutely, you can replace it with chicken or shrimp or even beef, I understand some people don’t wish to have tofu on their meal, that’s why you can substitute the ingredients on this recipe.
