Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the ginger and garlic and cook them, stirring often, until they smell amazing—about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the onion and keep cooking until it softens up, around 4 minutes. Next, stir in the carrots and let them cook until they begin to get tender, which should take another 4 minutes. Mix in the green curry paste, then add the tomatoes, cumin, and curry powder. Cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant—about 4 minutes.

Step 2
Add the tofu to the pot and let it soak up those flavors for 3 to 4 minutes. Throw in the kale and cook just until it starts to wilt, which should take about the same amount of time. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble softly for about 5 minutes. Then add the vegetable broth and chickpeas, season with a pinch of salt, and let the soup simmer uncovered for around 20 minutes so all the flavors meld beautifully.

Step 3
When you're ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with chopped scallions. A drizzle of sriracha on top adds a nice kick if you like a little heat. Enjoy!
