Luffa and Tofu Soup

Luffa and Tofu Soup

This comforting Luffa and Tofu Soup is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together fresh luffa, tender tofu, and savory fried pork in a light, aromatic broth. The natural sweetness of luffa pairs perfectly with the soft tofu and rich pork, while ginger adds a warm, zesty depth. Quick and easy to prepare, this soup starts with a fragrant ginger-infused base, followed by simmered tofu and pork for a hearty touch. The luffa is added last to retain its delicate texture, and a hint of salt and monosodium glutamate enhances the umami flavors. Ideal for a light meal or soothing side, this nourishing soup is both wholesome and delicious—ready in minutes but full of homemade goodness. Perfect for busy weeknights or whenever you crave a bowl of warmth and simplicity!
