    In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, curry powder, cumin and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in lentils and broth. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, cut tofu into 1/2-inch pieces.

    Stir tofu, broccoli and parsley into simmering lentil mixture. Cook over medium heat about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is crisp-tender.

  • This hearty, flavorful soup is a great way to add tofu to your diet. If you'd rather make Lentil-Chicken Soup, just substitute 3/4 cup cut-up cooked chicken (about 4 ounces) for the tofu.
