As the weather cools down, it's the perfect season for a hot bowl of soup. Slice all the ingredients into thin strips, add your favorite seasonings, and you'll have a nutritious hot and sour soup ready to enjoy!

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!

Duck blood can be hard to find, so you can substitute with pork blood. When making this at home, you can cut the tofu and pork blood into cubes or strips, however you like. Adjust the seasoning to your taste—I usually add half a spoon at a time, taste, and add more if needed.

When I was a kid, my mom was always busy. To feed the four of us, she would quickly make a hearty soup—full of ingredients and flavor. Just one bowl was enough to fill us up!

This version of hot and sour soup skips the pig's blood—not only because it's hard to find in Japan, but also because I discovered it's just as delicious without it! It tastes just as good as the ones you get at restaurants. Watching both adults and kids enjoy it so much is really rewarding!Tips:If you don't want to make a large batch, feel free to adjust the ingredient amounts.Everyone has a different preference for sourness and spiciness.If you like it more or less sour or spicy, adjust the amount of white vinegar and pepper to your taste!When serving, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top.

Duck blood, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, tofu, eggs, and carrots make a pot full of nutrition.

The spiciness of hot and sour soup comes from the pepper, so it needs to be added in a certain amount. I like it spicier, so I add more chili peppers after serving. 🌶️

You can tell Mom it was a success!
