Place the oil in a large soup pot over high heat and add the onion, stirring well. After 1 minute, add the broccoli stems, Tuscan kale and green curry paste, and continue stirring for about 1 minute more. Add the water, vegetable bouillon cubes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, and then immediately lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the tofu and warm through. Add the cilantro and lime juice and stir well. Remove from the heat and serve at once.
