To Make:
In a large soup pot, add 12 cups of water and boil. Once the water is boiling, add the vegetable stock cube. Let this boil for about 10 minutes until the cube is dissolved.

Next, add in the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, spinach, potato and tofu. Mix in the tomato paste. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and black pepper. Add 1 teaspoon of paprika, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes.
