Hot and Sour Soup

This is my family's very favorite soup! It taste just like take-out! It's quick and easy. I have been making it for years. Have a cold? Forget that plain old chicken soup! ***IMPORTANT TIP*** I suggest making this soup a day or two ahead to let the vegetables and tofu marinate! Then just heat and serve. Enjoy!

Excellent recipe. Everyone I've served it to says after eating my soup, the restaurants' Hot and Sour Soup is not as good as this. Thanks so much for posting this great recipe.

    Have been making this soup for the past year. I always double the recipe to eat for the week on my diet days. I omit the water chestnuts and corn because I've never had it before in hot and sour soup and add sliced button mushrooms. Also I use white ground pepper to give the creep up on you heat, about a tab cause I like my stuff spicy.

    WONDERFUL SOUP! This recipe is the best I've had. Marinating it over night really adds to the depth of flavor, great tip! The 2nd time I made this I doubled the amount of liquid and spice and left the veggie amounts the same. I like extra broth. It's also worth mentioning that I thought I wouldn't like the Tofu- but when it's left to marinate it completely takes on the flavor of the soup! This recipe is a keeper!
