Hot and Sour Broth with Collard Greens and Tofu

Hot and Sour Broth with Collard Greens and Tofu

Collard greens! Interested in nutrients that support the body's detox system, antioxidant system, and inflammatory/anti-inflammatory system? Not sure how to prepare them? I wasn't. We were out of greens and I had just a few minutes to stop at a small local store.  The only greens available were collard greens, so I snatched them up.  When I got home, I stood there looking at them wondering what in the world to do with them. As I tried to imagine how I might most enjoy them, I decided to make a tasty broth of vegetable bouillon, aminos, rice vinegar, hot sauce, with a touch of peanut butter. I stirred in diced tofu and topped with crushed peanuts and chili flakes. It turned out to be a super fast and delicious way to enjoy these powerful greens. Go get some collard greens and give them a try!
