Recipe Summary Homemade Hot And Sour Soup

Very easy-to-make hot and sour soup.

Ingredients | Sour Bamboo Soup

4 cups chicken broth

½ cup mushrooms, diced

¼ cup shredded cooked chicken (Optional)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon chile-garlic paste (sambal oelek)

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 ounces firm tofu, drained, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (Optional)

⅓ cup canned bamboo shoots, cut into matchsticks (Optional)

¼ cup white vinegar

¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste

2 tablespoons cold water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 egg

2 green onions, diced

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a 2-quart saucepan. Add mushrooms, chicken, soy sauce, chile paste, and garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add tofu, bamboo shoots, vinegar, and white pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes more.

Combine water and cornstarch in a cup; stir until smooth. Add mixture to the soup and stir well. Let simmer until soup thickens, about 5 minutes more.

Beat egg in a cup and slowly pour, in a fine stream, into the soup. Stir well and heat through for 30 seconds. Mix in green onions and sesame oil. Remove from heat; serve hot.

I use Better Than Bouillon(R) to make the chicken broth.

Substitute cooked chicken with pork if desired.

Add in any vegetables you prefer along with the tofu. I quite often add celery, carrot, baby bok choy, spinach, cauliflower, or broccoli.
