- Heat the canola oil slowly with 2 tablespoons of water in a large soup pot.
- Add the celery, carrots, garlic, and onion to the pot.
- Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Simmer the Broth:
- Pour in 8 cups of water and add the vegetable bouillon cubes, seasoning mix, and dried dill.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cook at a gentle simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Cook the Noodles:
- Increase the heat and bring the soup to a more vigorous simmer.
- Add the noodles and cook at a steady simmer for 5-8 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
Add the Tofu:
- Stir in the diced tofu, then season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve and Enjoy:

- Tip: As the soup stands, the noodles quickly absorb the liquid. If you plan on having leftovers, add a cup or so of additional water before storing and adjust the seasonings. This allows the soup to develop more flavor as it stands.

Baked pressed tofu can be found at most natural food stores, typically sold in a cellophane package.
