Nothing worse than ordering Hot and Sour Soup at a restaurant and get it and it is either missing the spicy or missing the sour! So I worked on and came up with my own Hot & Sour Soup perfect each time.

Adapted several recipes to get the recipe I like

I got tired of non traditional hot and sour soup tired of spending money on inconsistent soups so I learned how to make this soup this makes 8 servings pint each. This is a healthy soup good protein, vitamins, and iron #mycookbook

This is a modified version of the recipe in closet cooking: https://www.closetcooking.com/2015/02/quick-and-easy-chinese-hot-and-sour-soup.html?m=1The ingredients and steps are basically the same, just with adjusted amount and also lightly pan frying some ingredients before adding the broth.I paired it with pan fried dumplings (just follow the pan frying instruction on the bag) and it made a great dinner!

Super spicy and easy for those who don't have an Asian store close! :chef

It's, "Leftover Night," here in the O'Brien Shire so, ya'll know what that means?! Dealer's choice!I swear, my students literally ran happily amuck knowing they were not only making, but delivering and serving their very own piping hot finished soups to two of our largest Albuquerque homeless shelters early this morning! As usual, they were all so stinkin' enthusiastic and excited! Kids huh?! 😉 God love em'!Anywho, my students would eventually decide upon various traditional homemade soups. Mostly stews and chicken noodle. Or, dumpling dishes. Always a great idea. But, one of my 7 year old students decided to get their Asian on and go altogether Ninja rogue on their asses last night! [it's kinda funny seeing as how he's so very, VERY Jewish?] 🤔Anyway, not many Americans are aware of the true origins of traditional Chinese Hot & Sour Soup. This specific soup was initially created out of absolute necessity. Early on, it consisted ONLY of older Chinese kitchen table scraps. And, not the good kind either folks! [you know, like the iced cold moo goo we feed off of at 2:00 am flat assed drunk but always seem to somehow really appreciate?] Yup, you remember. I know you do. ;0)Hence the prompt additions of rice wine vinegar, soy and sugars to mask any [how shall we say] more curious flavors? Even the Chow Mein Noodles were old, dusty and leftover. Yup, it was all a grand, delicious cover up! That's right, everybody in the pool! Old or new - didn't matter!

I just made this, and my family loved it.It's better not to overcook the Chinese cabbage so that you can enjoy the texture, and it's delicious. Recipe by Benio
