Hot and Sour Soup

I wanted to make something quick and easy for dinner so when I saw this recipe for hot and sour soup on Gimme Some Oven I knew it was perfect. My family loves hot and sour soup but I have never attempted to make it before because I was intimidated. This recipe isn’t authentic but it is delicious and easy to make. I loved that it came together in less than 30 minutes and wasn’t complicated at all. Yay!! My kids and husband and I absolutely LOVED it. I am looking forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

How to Make Hot and Sour Soup

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot combine 7½ cups of chicken broth with the sliced shiitake mushrooms, drained bamboo shoots, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ground ginger, and chili garlic sauce together then bring to a simmer over medium heat; stirring occasionally.

While the soup comes to a simmer, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth with the cornstarch. Whisk until well combined and completely smooth; set aside.

Once the soup has reached a simmer, stir in the whisked cornstarch mixture and stir for a minute or two until the soup has thickened.

Continue stirring the soup in a circular motion and slowly drizzle in the well-whisked eggs in a thin stream (while still stirring the soup) to create the egg ribbons. Add the diced tofu, half of the green onions, and sesame oil; stir to mix. Taste and season with sea salt and white pepper, to taste.

Serve immediately garnished with the remaining green onions and with more soy sauce and chili sauce on the side. Enjoy.
