Cream of Corn with Barbecue Tofu

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 4 cups (1 litre) vegetable broth
  • 4 cups (1 litre) milk
  • 1 large potato, peeled and cubed
  • 5 cups (750 g) frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 1/2 lb (675 g) firm tofu, patted dry and diced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Cilantro leaves, to taste

Preparation

  1. In a large pot over high heat, soften the onion and garlic in half of the oil. Add the broth, milk and potato. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add 4 cups (600 g) of the corn and half of the tofu. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the potato is tender.
  2. In a blender, purée the soup until smooth. Strain through a sieve. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet over high heat, brown the remaining tofu in the remaining oil. Add the barbecue sauce and chilli powder. Cook until the tofu is glazed in the sauce.
  4. Divide the soup among four bowls. Top with the barbecue tofu, avocado and remaining corn. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
