15-Minute Chinese Hot and Sour Soup 

This is by far one of my overall favorite soups. The owner of my local Chinese restaurant heard congestion in my voice and said "you need Hot and Sour Soup to break up your chest"......She was NOT lying after eating this soup my chest and nose opened right up and I began to feel better. Been eating it ever since, especially when you feel a cold coming on

This thing turned out to be my favourit soup. Very delicious and thanks for the receipe. What i do different is, that I boil a whole chicken, with carrots, selerie, leek and spices for at least one hour. Afterwards I remove the meat from the bones and skin and pressurecook the soup with the meat in 1 litre glasses (appr. 6-7 glasses). So I have always "the real thing" available and I dont have to use stock cubes, which makes a difference in the taste.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!!!!!

Quick and easy to make. A lot more hot than sour. I will make it again and half the white pepper and siracha, and also add the vinegar at the end as others have suggested

Give this a try it’s fantastic I didn’t have the stock cubes but it was still amazing thank you for sharing

Definitely going to make it , looks so yum 😋 My favourite Chinese soup 😋😋

Superb recipe

Soup looks so good and glad to have you back 😊

Mmmmmmmm looks delicious 😊

Looks delicious 🌹🇱🇰🇱🇰

Oh thank god !!! Glad to see post from you. Welcome back. Hope the break was good.

Hot tip: Wait with the vinegar until just before you take it off the heat, or even until just before it's served. Also forgot to mention the obvious: it's incredible. Made it 3 times last month. But I can recommend using just under half a teaspoon (or to taste) of cayenne instead of white pepper. Maybe it's just me, but the white pepper smells really bad.

That’s one of my “must order food” in takeaway 👍🏻

Super yummy 😋liked ✅

great soup, thanks

Looks good

Oh yummm

Ohemgee this soup was so amazing. I will be making it again for sure !

Awesome soup, added some cabbage and mushrooms to the mix.

Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just cooked the soup: Best recipe ever! For years I searched for a recipe which is comparable to Chinese restaurants (in Germany). NOW I found it! Please allow these changes resp improvements (just my taste): 1 liter Chicken broth instead of water, and 7-8 TBSP starch (tapioka). Only 1/2 minute waiting for stirring the egg.

Substituted tofu for the chicken. Very good recipe. Tasty and opens the nasal and sinus cavities. Yum!

Replaced the chicken by very small tofu cubes, no meat at hand. Very delicious!

Needs some dried shiitake for sure. Looks delicious

I m going to gf this soup soon 😍 it looks so good. Can’t wait to see more recipes from you

Absolutely gorgeous soup, thank you for this recipe, very easy to follow and im not the best at cooking at all, im eating this almost every week now, cant get enough of it lol, Thank you very much

Super 😘 tasty 🍲🍲😋

yummy

How about adding very thin sliced strips of ginger?

Very tasty! Just made this, I like it!

What is the instrumental sample you used for this?

Growing up we always used order this as a starter in Chinese restaurants. "Bejiing Soup".

Just made it. Yum! better than I expected.

This looks divineee!! Beautiful video 👍

Thank you ! my fav takeaway soup ... made at home ... simple when shown how!

After Tom Yum, the best Asian soup there is.

I want to try with shrimp.

It looks like my favorite takeaway version, must make it.

This is exactly the hot and sour soup i was imagining, will try 🫑💚🇵🇰

Spilled ever bit of this soup into the bowl and danged if ever bite wasn't eaten. So good, hot soup on the coldest day of your life. Yes, it's worth it, yes, it's good, yes soup is good, but one taste of that hot and sour soup, you could've done broke the mold🧃

It’s a really good recipe. Thank you 😊

I can't wait to cook the vegan version of this ! I'll substitute fried salted & peppered oyster mushrooms and broken silken tofu with a bit of black salt. I'm looking forward to this. *.*

This soup is so good and so easy to make too 👏🏽

Chinese soups are very delicious like Turkish, Kurdish soup. Turkish and Chinese products are best like Pakistani products. They are cheap and affordable for everyone.

What were the green chillis sitting in before adding at the end? Are they just in water to stay fresh or is it white vinegar?

Uffff looks so delicious MA 😍

A question in place of chicken could i use tofu? Please confirm.

Make it a few times and adjust the ingredient amounts as ou go. You'll find your perfect bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. Mabe I missed it ..... the creator used Siracha sauce and please realize that is not traditional and will add heat and change the overall flavor a bit. MAybe I missed this .... White Pepper. In traditional Hot and Sour Soup the heat comes from White Pepper. At about 02:30, we simmer the soiup for a couple of minutes. Add the white pepper and and Vinegar right before you take the soup off the heat. White Vinegar is sharp compared to Chinese Vinegars. [ you can use Chinese Dark Vinegar or substitute Balsamic Vinegar ] Taste. Adjust. Stir. Taste Adjust, Stir, Taste .... and you will get your perfect bowk of Hot and Sour Soup.

only question is why to use stock cubes, when you still have to bois your chicken? Homemade stock is muuuuch better

A flexible recipe, you can substitute a lot of other different ingredients.

I dont have dark soy sauce and sesame oil. Any alternative?

Delicious 😋

Please make prawn soup ..

If I make chicken soup from scratch, can I use that instead of water and chicken stock cubes? The chicken meat would be in there too so that sounds like a good base, no?

Not quite the same as the original. But an excellent time saving alternative.

I would’ve put shiitake slices instead of chicken

What is the serving size? You have not mentioned it anywhere.

When the recipe says vinegar what type of vinegar is used please

nice! carrots to replace bamboo shoots. I can find carrots

I have bronchitis, just made this.

Does anyone know what vinegar is used?

If i want to add prawns ?

No mushrooms?

tofu? prawns?

No straw mushrooms or tofu? No French cut string beans?

All the vinegar cooked out. You don't add it nor the sesame oil till the end/before serving.

Just all sauce mix water basically

Made this today... First time through precisely followed the recipe... Except when it came to Sriracha... Said to myself, two tablespoons is a lot of Sriracha... Put in one... I like spicy food but still way over the top... Will use two teaspoons next time... Otherwise good... A bit more savory than typically found in Asian themed restaurants... A little disappointed there... Oh, and I did use my own homemade chicken stock... No bullion cubes...

Everything was good with the soup except the spice was over the top spicy. Would be better cut in half.

I stopped at the bell pepper Hot and sour soup does not have bell peppers in it!

You forgot the tofu strips

SEEMS YUM!!! AM WAITING TO GET MY TEETH INTO IT.❤

Interesting, no fungus or tofu

No mushrooms? I'm so lost.

dont use starch, just cook the thing longer

💞Wow💜💜🤍💜💜💜💜💜

Where are the bamboo shoots?!?!

cat get your tongue

I payed f ing 6 pound for this off my local china woman

Bell peppers, sugar?! This is NOT Chinese hot and sour soup. It's a Frankenstein soup.

Too much white pepper ruins it for me.

The heat should come from the white pepper alone. This recipe also lacks all the traditional veggies like shiitake mushrooms and Lily flowers. The vinegar should be black vinegar. I suppose this might be tasty but to call it hot and sour is just wrong.

In no way, shape or form is this traditional hot and sour soup.

china does not have this soup. this is american chinese food

WRONG. Everything about this recipe is wrong. Even the right ingredients go in at the wrong time. Don't boil your vinegar, EVER. And NEVER put sriracha in there, good god.
