Shani Eisenberger gave me this fabulous recipe a short while ago after I tasted it in her house. I’m crazy over hot and sour soup, but I never tried it myself. I couldn’t get over how easy it is to achieve the restaurant taste. I’ve never made a soup that took so little time. It also doesn’t have a lot of cooking time, so I will certainly turn to this recipe again and again this winter.

Prepare Soup
-
Bring water, soup mix, and soy sauce to a boil.

Add carrots, zucchini, bamboo shoots, garlic powder, and black and red pepper.
-
Simmer for five minutes.
-
Add tofu and vinegar, and simmer another five minutes.
-
Add cornstarch mixture and stir well.
-
Simmer for five minutes or until thickened.
-
Add egg and quickly stir a few times.
-
Let stand a minute before serving.

Note:
You can make this soup without the carrots and zucchini for a simpler option.
Tip:
If you like your soup extra hot and spicy, add another dash of crushed red pepper and another splash of vinegar. Don’t overcook it or you’ll cook out the vinegar.
