Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic and cook them gently until they’re soft and fragrant. Meanwhile, grab a big pot and add the sautéed onion and garlic along with the potatoes, carrots, and split peas. Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring everything to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down low and let it simmer for about an hour.

Step 2
While that’s cooking, blend the tofu and spinach together until you get a smooth, creamy mixture. Stir this into the pot, then season with some fresh or dried basil, plus salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup cook for another hour, stirring occasionally. If it starts to get too thick, just add a little water to loosen it up. When everything is tender and flavors have melded together, ladle it into bowls and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This soup is hearty and comforting, with a rich, creamy texture that comes from blending the peas and tofu together. It’s packed with plant-based protein and fiber, making it both nutritious and satisfying. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite herbs and spices.
How to serve
Serve warm with a crusty piece of bread or a side salad for a complete meal. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives to add a burst of color and freshness. A drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavors even more.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if the soup has thickened. This soup also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
