Tofu Soup With Vegetables

 

Tofu Soupp with Vegetables

The sodium content of this recipe varies according to whether you use chicken or vegetable broth. The low sodium vegetable broth that I use has twice as much sodium as low sodium chicken broth. The above sodium content uses low sodium chicken broth which has 60 mg. of sodium per cup. Vegetable broth brings the sodium content up to 497 mg. per serving. Both totals are still low compared with other broth varieties, while both broths go well with this healthy low sodium tofu and vegetables recipe.
