My husband has an obsession with hot and sour soup. He buys it every time we buy any take-out. Thank you for this recipe. So I can learn how to make it on my own. We love it.

Best soup ever! This is my family’s favorite soup. Our guests love it too! (I omit the tofu and add more beaten eggs). Thanks for such an awesome recipe!
