- 4–5 cups veggie broth or vegan chicken broth
- Handful of fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
- Press the tofu and wrap it in a kitchen towel, placing a heavy object on top to release excess moisture.

- Add the pressed and cubed tofu, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder; sauté to meld flavors.
- Pour in the veggie broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions.
- Mix the cooked pasta into the soup, letting it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Pressing and freezing the tofu enhances its flavor and texture. Customize herbs to your liking, and consider serving with gluten-free bread or a side salad.
