Hot and sour soup is the perfect companion to dumplings, but restaurant versions are often thickened and light on ingredients. Making it at home lets you skip the thickener and load it up with your favorite ingredients for a soup that's truly your own!

Tips:

1. The mixed shredded vegetables (bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, carrot) can often be found at market stalls that sell duck blood, pickled vegetables, and preserved bamboo shoots.
2. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix a little cornstarch with water and add it at the end.
3. Adjust all seasonings and ingredients to your taste.

Personal Note:

This hot and sour soup is lighter without the thickener, and especially comforting on a cold day—you'll want to go back for more.
