"Another Asian soup for our Zaar tour 4. Hot and sour soup is one of the most popular soups in Chinese restaurants. I found this one in a chicken book. Wipe the mushoms caps and stalk before cooking as they have a strong flavour."

  1. DH and I really enjoyed this soup! This is a very classic version of the recipe found in Chinese restaurants. One pint of chicken stock didn't seem quite enough as I must have thrown in more mushrooms, chicken, and tofu than called for, so I increased the amount of chicken stock and other liquids, including adding some of the liquid I soaked the mushrooms in. I also added a few Chinese dumplings to the pot while it was simmering and removed them and served them on the side with our favorite dipping sauce, recipe #446277. Thanks, bigbadbrenda, for a delightful soup!
