Add chili powder, white pepper, vinegar, bamboo shoots, and tofu. Simmer for five minutes.
Combine cornstarch with cold water in a cup. Stir until mixture is smooth. Add to soup and stir well. Simmer for five minutes until soup is thickened.

I made this without all the exotic ingredients (tofu, bamboo shoots) and it was sooo good! Totally felt like a restaurant dinner @ home :)
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!
I am so happy Devorah!
