Easy Hot and Sour Soup
When it's cold outside, a bold-flavored soup is perfect to warm you up. By using soy sauce, spicy bean paste, and vinegar, you can make a hot and sour soup that's very close to what you'd find at a restaurant! You can also add your favorite ingredients—homemade versions let you include more toppings for a richer texture and flavor. Adjust the amount of black vinegar to taste when serving to get the perfect level of tanginess. This is a simple, quick version of restaurant-style hot and sour soup that comes together fast!
