Hot and Sour Soup

Ali shares her verison of this classic Chinese soup. I can tell you, Egg Drop Soup is my favorite. It’s simple and delicious. Hot and Sour Soup stats put same as Egg Drop only you add vinegar which is the sour part. The hot part comes from pepper. Specifically white pepper. I would’ve thought black or red. Nope! It’s white pepper which has the heat. The white pepper was used as a way to keep the poor country people warm in the winter. Maybe this will help Europe….

What to serve in the soup? I have watched Marion Grasby make it and it’s similar to this. I watched Mandy from Souped Up Recipes which is where I got the tidbit about the white pepper. Minus the sarcasm.

Ali has a list of items to put into Hot and Sour Soup. Mushrooms, carrots and greens. Also, you could add dumplings to this soup. I would say you could turn this soup into a full meal.
