Instructions
Drain the firm tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the coconut oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil.
Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Carefully add the tofu cubes to the simmering broth, allowing them to soak in the flavors for 3-4 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, or until they soften.
Stir in the spiralized zucchini and baby spinach. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, just until tender but still vibrant in color.
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the lime juice and garnish the soup with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
If desired, drizzle with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick of spice.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty, low-carb spicy tofu soup!
