Cooking has been one of my passions ever since I was a little girl, always standing next to my mom and tending to the delicious dishes she used to make. Now that I’m also a mom, I have found myself experimenting with dishes that are tasty and healthy that would guarantee me some extra time with my little one.
I came up with the vegetable broth bowl recipe very spontaneously while deciding on dinner one night. It was one of those typical cold Michigan winter days, and I already had made up my mind that I was not going to do any grocery shopping.
After taking quick look inside the fridge, I decided to make a soup with several vegetables that I had there. After the broth, vegetables, tofu, and seasonings came together, the soup was beyond delicious and heartwarming. And best of all it was quick to put together. It has become a go-to in our household and always reminds me of the infinite healthy dishes that we can create with a few simple ingredients. – Nertila Cenolli-Mecolli
