"This hot and sour soup is better than the restaurants near me. It is so tasty and you can adjust the vinegar and Sriracha to your taste to make it as hot and spicy as you like. It also stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and it freezes well too!"

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended.
While the soup is at a steady simmer, slowly whisk in the eggs so they form strands.
