It was difficult but is was doable and was done several times, even between u-boats (ex: Type VIIc and a IX). One was returning but had torpedoes to spare and the other was going on patrol and already had shoot a few.
One method that was recorded in photos was rapping a torpedo with the live-jackets/escape apparatus so it would float (or at least help the torpedo not sink) and cables.
