Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add celery and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, bouillon cubes, cumin, thyme and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently until vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree tofu until smooth in a food processor or blender. Stir into soup along with corn, salt and white pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- If time allows, remove pan from heat and place in refrigerator for 1 hour or so, then rewarm over very low heat.
- Remove bay leaves before serving.
