   • Add soy sauce and ginger if using.

2. Add tofu and greens

   • Gently add tofu cubes and seaweed.

   • Let the soup warm for 2–3 minutes, then add spinach or bok choy.

   • Simmer very gently for another 2 minutes until greens are just wilted.

🌱 Mindful Moment

As you stir the soup, watch the greens swirl softly through the golden broth. Take a slow breath before your first sip — feel the warmth rise, the scent of earth and ocean. Let it remind you that stillness and nourishment often come in the simplest forms.
