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.

1 zucchini, julienned
