Comments on: Quick and Easy Chinese Hot and Sour Soup https://www.closetcooking.com/quick-and-easy-chinese-hot-and-sour-soup/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Please try my authentic Chinese Hot and Sour Soup recipe(link) for a traditional version rather than this version which tries to use ingredients that are already in your pantry.

I completely agree. I didn’t know better. But this vinegar is completely wrong. The soup was gross & the after taste of the vinegar made me toss it.

The correct vinegar for this recipe is Chinkiang vinegar. White pepper is also important as it adds additional sourness.

I made this recipe without the egg and with coconut aminos. Oh my! it was amaminister. Thank you for sharing!

This is definitely the best one. Used sliced Portabellas. Yum Yum Yum. Thanks, Kevin

I only had plain old white button mushrooms but I sliced them very thin & didn’t mind the substitution. And I used the little frozen cubes of garlic & ginger. The soup was VERY good and it was easy, too. Next time I make it, I will add some Fire Cider like a previous commenter mentioned. This is a keeper- meaning I will write the recipe on a notecard and file it.

One thing I noticed after adding the corn starch slurry was my broth turned and stayed a white hue. The flavor was fine though, just didn’t expect the color change.

I was happily surprised that it had exactly the right balance of ‘hot’ and ‘sour’. I had to stop myself from eating it right out of the pot! That’s how good it is! Thanks for the great and easy recipe. You can be sure I will be making this again very soon!

The only thing I had to buy was the tofu, so I guess it was meant to be for me.

Used the following as the recipe suggested extra firm tofu (no meat), gluten free low sodium tamari, sambal olek, rice vinegar and chicken stock. The only substitution I had to make was using baby portabellas instead of shiitake mushrooms. It was amazing and really so easy to make. Thank you for a great recipe!!! Also..a special thank you for making gluten free suggestions where ever possible. I have Celiac so must be GF.

I’ve made this soup many times and we all love it! I add extra rice vinegar instead of the balsamic, but that’s my only change. It’s so easy and delicious. Thanks!
