Super-soup!

I just made this soup, and realised it is amazingly low cal and really tasty!

(Makes two serves)

1 egg white
1 serve tofu (silken firm - TLY Joyce brand)
1 cup cabbage
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1 medium carrot
Handful baby spinach leaves
1 vegetable stock cube (I used swiss nature for 35 cals)
750ml water

Total cals: 187
Cals per serve: 93.5

(for one serve)
Carbs: 7.4g
Fat: 2.9g
Protein: 7.3g
Fibre: 4.7g

METHOD:
Bring water to boil, add chopped onion and garlic until cooked through.
Add carrots until blanched.
Add stock.
add cabbage, tofu, and spinach until 'limp'/cooked.
Turn off heat, 'drip' in egg (so it doesn't form into one big eggy-clump).
Serve once egg is cooked - NOM.

WARNING - this brand of stock is really high in salt; one cube exceeds recommended intake of sodium.
