Step-by-step
- Place a pan over a medium heat and add in the garlic, the onion and the squash, and sauté the vegetables for roughly five minutes.
- Once that’s done, add in the corn kernels, the tofu and the stock. Stir well to combine and bring the liquid to the boil.
- Once the liquid reaches boiling point, cover the pan with the lid, turn the heat down to the minimum and cook the ingredients for 30 minutes. The liquid should simmer just slightly for the duration of the cooking time.
- Once the time has elapsed, thoroughly blend the ingredients to obtain the soup. To do this you can either use a high-speed blender or a regular stick blender.
